Through the very generous support of individuals and Dartmouth classes the Rockefeller Center has a number of named internships.
The Class of 1964 Public Policy Internship Program grew out of an idea initially proposed by John Topping '64, President of the Climate Institute in Washington DC and inaugural recipient in January 2002 of the Tucker Foundation's Martin Luther King Award. The Class is especially interested in funding this internship because it directly enriches the quality of student life outside of the classroom. The Class has encouraged the Rockefeller Center to select interns with strong communications skills, a desire to benefit from the Class-provided introductions to various aspects of Washington public life, and a willingness to share their experiences with others on their return to campus. The Class of 1964 currently supports three interns a year.
