The John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding unites the diverse strengths of Dartmouth College—students, faculty, undergraduate and graduate schools—in addressing the world’s challenges. The Dickey Center broadens the scope of learning through advanced study, interdisciplinary collaboration, research innovation, and respect for a diversity of viewpoints. The Center supports research, internships, fellowships, and other student-specific programming in the areas of the Arctic and the Environment, Global Health and Development, Global Studies, and Peace and Security. The Center was established in 1982 and dedicated to the memory and values of Dartmouth College President John Sloan Dickey (1907-1991). He welcomed entering students at Convocation with the charge, "Your business here is learning."
