Dear Dartmouth,
President Hanlon addresses the Texas federal court ruling on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
It's Summer Term after all, which means your life is likely full of demands and responsibilities, academic and otherwise.
The board of trustees also paid tribute to three members who are retiring.
"Remember always that the things most precious to us are often the most fragile, and that they need nurturing and protection and stewardship," President Hanlon told the class of 2021.
"We can all think of at least one conversation with a friend or mentor where we walked away feeling supported, or inspired, and we wouldn't be the people who we are today if it were not for that conversation."
Dartmouth graduates served and sacrificed in all the nation's wars.
This week's guests discussed easing COVID-19 restrictions this summer and fall.
The 2021 events continue tonight with a panel discussion with queer professionals.
