Greener Together, Renewing Our Commitment to Meaningful Action to Addressing Climate Changes and Sustainability at Dartmouth and Beyond

Council Charge:

The Dartmouth Climate Collaborative Advisory Council has an initial one-year charge to help coordinate the activities addressing climate and sustainability across the academic and operational spaces at Dartmouth. There are many groups on campus doing work related to climate and sustainability (Climate Futures Initiative, Irving Institute for Energy and Society, campus decarbonization, Sustainability Office, and many academic departments and centers). This committee has the unique role of stepping back and looking at the entire ecosystem of work at Dartmouth and helping find ways to elevate that work collectively.

Charge and Full Membership

The invention2impact group will draw on their own experience, internal and benchmarking information gathered by a dedicated team of consultants, and extensive follow-up queries to map the existing infrastructure (internal institutional resources and practices) and ecosystem (intramural, affiliated, community-based, and national networks) that support the translation of patentable Dartmouth innovations in science and technology to broader societal impact, and identify opportunities for improvement. With support from the consultants, the i2i group will then guide the preparation of a report that synthesizes the findings and makes specific recommendations to the Provost, each designed to help Dartmouth maximize the societal impact of its STEM discoveries relative to our current state and our peer institutions, e.g., by enhancing the internal infrastructure or strengthening or broadening relevant external relationships within its STEM translational ecosystem.

Charge and Full Membership

This committee reviews the recommended updates to Dartmouth's policies related to Freedom of Expression and Dissent (FED). In doing so, meet with various campus offices and stakeholder groups to understand current practices, further clarify policies where needed, and ensure broad input.

Charge and Full Membership

This committee considers how and when Dartmouth (or its component schools, centers, and departments) should speak. In short:

• Under what conditions should Dartmouth leaders make a statement on behalf of the istitution?
• How do these same principles apply to departments, centers, and institutes?
• Articulate the underlying principles for, and implemtation of, a policy on institutional statements.

In doing its work, the committee shall review similar committees made by peer institutions, and consult with key campus stakeholder groups, including students, faculty, and senior leadership.
