Three days after Commencement, College President Sian Leah Beilock — Dartmouth’s first female President — will conclude her first year in office. From a hope-inspiring inauguration and various new campus initiatives — such as the Dartmouth Climate Collaborative and Dartmouth Dialogues — to a narrow student vote of no confidence and arts and sciences faculty censure, Beilock’s tenure has been marked by both commendation and controversy. In emailed responses to The Dartmouth, Beilock unpacked her first year at the College and her plans going forward.
