Campus News Greetings from Hanover- We started the school year by adding the First-Year Student Enrichment Program (FYSEP) to the orientation of a select group of 2014’s. This program is designed to improve the transition from high school to Dartmouth for first-generation college students. Additionally, a new student group, the Men of Color Alliance (MOCA) has formed to create a new space for men to meet, network, and support each other within the larger Dartmouth community. Anise Vance ’11 – George J. Mitchell Scholar Congratulations to Anise who is a Dartmouth Senior Fellow, a geography major, and will pursue an MA in geography at Queen’s University Belfast. He is a Mellon Mays Fellow and selected as a 2010 Beinecke Scholar. The National Society for Black Engineer's focus this academic year is Entrepreneurship in Emerging Markets. Both Dr. Robert Wallace, CEO Bith Group Technologies and Ms. Magatte Wade, Co-founder of Adina World Beverages have engaged our members and community about the different steps and intricacies of entrepreneurship. Staccato, Dartmouth's only step team performed at Kaleidoscope, an international diversity show as well as the LUL Stroll show. Through step, Staccato has brought together many students from different multicultural backgrounds. Ujima Dance Troupe will celebrate its 25th Anniversary Reunion with a performance on Sunday, May 22 nd at Collis Common Ground. The Dartmouth College Gospel Choir continues to be blessed with increased energy -- our roster is up over 130 students (4x where we were 5 years ago!), and our audience has grown as well, reaching across campus, the Upper Valley and beyond! We hope you'll join us at one of our May 8th concerts for a celebration of love, faith, and inspiration! In conjunction with the theater department, the Black Underground Theater Association's production was chosen as the VOICES production for winter 2011. BUTA produced FENCES by August Wilson on Tuesday, March 9th in the Bentley. Please save the date for the 26 th Annual Black Awards Ceremony, Sunday, May 15 th from 3-5pm at Collis Common Ground.
