Academics

Tuck students can work with faculty on case development, participate in self-designed independent studies, choose a first-year project with a social or environmental focus, and consult for NGOs internationally.

Here are a few examples:

During Winter Term '09, four T'09s undertook a marketing and strategy project for the Foundation for Healthy Mothers and Babies in Kosovo. The students suggested how the organization can develop an identity and market itself to potential donors. The former dean of the Dartmouth Medical School was one of the faculty advisors.
In March '08, four T'09s traveled to Nicaragua for field research on their Green Mountain Coffee Roaster spring term First-Year Project. Their work is continuing with a 2009 summer internship.
A T'08 and a T'07 wrote a case with Professor John Vogel about a LEED Certified mixed-use building in Birmingham, Alabama. The case was used in both the fall and winter term Real Estate courses.
A T'08 wrote a case that was used in the spring-term elective Management of Disasters.
