Overview
Dartmouth features climate related graduate programs across all its graduate and professional schools: Tuck, Thayer, Geisel, and Guarani. The Climate Collaborative aims to support and strengthen opportunities for graduate and professional students to engage with climate both within their fields of study and across campus. Whether climate is central to a student’s academic focus or one of many areas of interest, we seek to create opportunities for interdisciplinary learning and community engagement that provide students with the knowledge, tools, and experience to address complex real-world challenges and contribute to a resilient future.
