The Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning (DCAL) is pleased to announce the results of this year’s Experiential Learning Seed Grant call for proposals, a highly competitive process which drew a wide variety of project submissions from 20 divisions and departments across the institution. In an effort to expand and enhance experiential learning at Dartmouth, DCAL coordinates resources to engage students, faculty, co-curricular educators, and community partners in the design and delivery of experiential learning opportunities.

Projects which exemplify the vision for experiential learning at Dartmouth and have been awarded one-year pilot funding for the 2017–18 academic year include:

Senior Design Challenge

This two-term capstone experience will engage seniors in design thinking methodology with interdisciplinary groups of their peers and faculty mentorship to design applicable solutions to a real-world problem.
