Getting Started in STEM
Dartmouth Adventures in STEM introduces 27 incoming first-year students to the frontiers of science.
In the first week of August the E.E. Just Program hosted a cohort of incoming students for Dartmouth Adventures in STEM, introducing them to new ideas and possibilities at the vanguard of science. They also participated in Navigating Dartmouth sessions, visited labs, and engaged in community-building activities organized by E.E. Just undergraduate fellows and summer interns.
