Winter 2012 Rockefeller Center Newsletter
Vol. 17, No. 2 -- Winter 2012
The Rockefeller Center electronic newsletter is published at the beginning of each term, and is a summary of news and notes.
 |
| Approximately fifty Dartmouth staff, students, and faculty members collaborated with Bloomberg, The Washington Post, and WBIN-TV to bring the first Republican Presidential Debate about the economy to Dartmouth on October 11, 2011. |
"I think [the debate] is a great opportunity to get students excited...It's important for participation, it's important for citizenship, it's important for instilling civic values."
- Barbara Richards '13
Rockefeller Center Director Andrew Samwick writes that "Public attention over the past several months has been divided between a lackluster Republican field of candidates and the emergence of the Occupy Wall Street movement." In his Winter 2012 Direct Line, Prof. Samwick shares thoughts on what he will be looking for as Occupy Wall Street transitions from a popular movement to a political movement.
What you might have missed during Fall 2011:
- Dartmouth hosted the Republican Presidential Debate about the economy on October 11, 2011. What did students think about the event, and how did they participate and engage in the political process as New Hampshire gears up for the First in the Nation Presidential Primary?
- The Rockefeller Center awarded funding for three additional senior honors thesis grants, three faculty research grants, and seven public policy interns during the fall 2011 term.
