Student Opportunities

“It is essential that we enable young people to see themselves as participants in one of the most exciting eras in history, and to have a sense of purpose in relation to it.” —Nelson A. Rockefeller '30

The Rockefeller Center’s mission is to inspire and energize you to become effective leaders in your communities and to cherish and participate in democracy on the state, national, and international stages throughout your life. You will find a home at the Center; one that will nurture your interest in public policy as well as the dedication to the "common good."  We believe this happens best when learning occurs in and out of the classroom. We offer a number of 'out-of-the-classroom' opportunities that will enhance your Dartmouth experience.
