Happy New Year! In January, we saw both a flurry of snow here in Hanover and a flurry of activity at Tuck.
The team here in Tuck Admissions spent most of January welcoming our Round 1 admits to the Tuck class of 2023. We are thrilled to welcome you into our community and hope you get the chance to connect with students, staff, and alumni, all of whom are eager to ensure you get all your Tuck questions answered. For those of you who applied in Round 2, we are excited to learn more about you through your application. Our reading team is hard at work evaluating your applications while our Tuck Admissions Associates (TAA’s) are busy conducting virtual interviews.
Still early in your MBA journey? Our online events are a great way to connect with our community. We host a multitude of events throughout the academic year with our Admissions officers, students, and alumni, to offer an inside view of life at Tuck and the Tuck MBA experience. In the coming weeks, check out our ongoing virtual events like student Q&As, Tuesdays with Tuck, and more. Tuck student clubs, including the Black Students Association at Tuck, Tuck Pride, and Tuck Hispanic American Student Association, will also be hosting chats—register now! Note that we have two application deadlines remaining so there is still time to apply for the class of 2023, Round 3 (March 29) and Round 4 (June 1).
The start of a new semester always brings with it a breadth of co-curricular events that leave us spoiled for choice, from the first-ever Made in Africa Speaker series session, a set of events focused on Doing Business in Africa and spearheaded by our Tuck Africa Club, to a visiting executive week that (virtually) welcomed back Debi Warner Brooks T'86 Co-Founder & Executive Vice Chairman, Michael J. Fox Foundation For Parkinson's Research, Art Lindenauer T'59 CFO and EVP of Finance (Retired), Schlumberger Limited, and Thad Hill T'95 President & Chief Executive Officer, Calpine Corporation (just to name a few) – our alumni are global leaders in the world of business and we’re always excited to welcome them back to Tuck to share their insights. Read about (or watch!) some of our Board Chat series events from the fall where alumni speakers from the NBA, Citigroup, Brooks Running, and more spoke with Dean Slaughter about navigating the pandemic as business leaders of their organizations.
Our student Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion chairs also shared the exciting news that this month would see the launch of Tuck’s If You Knew Me podcast. This podcast, hosted by Lia Parker-Belfer T’22 and Roderick Milligan T’21, focuses on building connections, broadening perspectives, and sparking meaningful conversation during this pivotal moment in our world. Our community is better for these continued efforts to build trust, empathy, and understanding all with the goal of positively contributing to the culture of belonging we are collectively working towards. Listen to these short podcast episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts.
This month meaningful connections were also made throughout the Tuck and greater Dartmouth communities during the weeks-long annual celebration honoring the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Through this year’s theme of “Hope + Action” the campus community was supported in looking back and planning forward through scholarship, spoken word, song, Artivism, and a multitude of other events providing opportunities for learning, reflection, hope, and action. Visit Dartmouth's Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration page for reflections on Dr. King by Dartmouth students, the events calendar, Dr. King's speech at Dartmouth in 1962, and more.
As we begin February, Tuck and Dartmouth are celebrating and honoring Black Legacy Month with a number of events and programs open to the Dartmouth community.
In our December blog, we said that we were going to take a few moments to look forward with hope; and during this month, we at Tuck have found hope in our message and mission, to build wise, decisive leaders who better the world through business. Now more than ever, our leaders are of vital importance, and we are excited to learn from our alumni, get inspired by our students, and welcome our new admits, all of whom embody the essence of Tuck.

“The way the Tuck community continues to find new and inventive ways to foster community and inclusivity despite not being able to be physically together. The start of the new year is always busy and it’s inspiring to see so many Tuckies take a moment to reach out to welcome an admit or support a student-led podcast, all while being amid classes and recruiting.”
