SEAD graduates 16 high schoolers
By Kristin Janssen | July 13, 2004After three summers of guidance, 16 rising high school seniors graduated from the Summer Enrichment at Dartmouth program Monday night at a ceremony held in Dartmouth Hall. This year's graduates were the second class to complete the SEAD program since its inception in 2001 after area resident Carol Fuchs approached Tucker Foundation Dean Stuart Lord with the idea of creating a summer program for high school students. According to Jay Davis '90, SEAD's director, the program's mission is to help disadvantaged youth by developing their personal strengths and promoting growth and learning in many areas. "We want to expand their conceptions of what's possible in their lives," Davis said. Those who graduated from SEAD's third year last night said they felt this goal had been accomplished.
