Learn about MLDP, RLF, RGLP and Working at Rocky

 

MLDP

Build leadership, team-building, interpersonal, and management skills essential for success in course projects, campus leadership positions, internships, and beyond.

RGLP

This one-term program prepares sophomores, juniors, and seniors to work with diverse individuals and in global environments by developing cultural understanding, flexibility, and intercultural communication skills. The program culminates with a weekend learning experience in Montreal or Boston.

RLF

In this year-long program for seniors, participants reflect on how to become self-aware and how to work within a team and an organization to achieve societal good, products, or services. As they take part in workshops, discussions, and team-building exercises, they gain a better understanding of the qualities and responsibilities expected of leaders and how to adapt their own leadership styles to different situations.

Model UN, Public Programs, and Student Workshops

 

Model UN

The Rockefeller Center acts as an advisor to the Dartmouth Model United Nations (DartMUN) student organization.  This organization participates in collegiate model UN conferences as well as hosting a high school level conference each spring here on the Dartmouth campus.

Public Programs

Each year, the Rockefeller Center hosts a robust agenda of public programs to complement students’ learning. These programs offer a close look at public policy and policymaking through the lens of public officials, distinguished scholars, political figures, journalists and other civically engaged leaders and activists.

Student Workshops

Student workshops are once a term, once a year, or once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for students to gain practical skills they can apply at Dartmouth or beyond. Workshop topics include: formal dining etiquette, career advising, Excel training, fundraising, event planning, salary negotiation, and more.

Curricular Offerings at the Rockefeller Center

 

The Public Policy Minor is open to Dartmouth undergraduates from all majors who seek a coherent program of study in the broadly defined field of public policy. Undergraduates who minor in public policy often describe it as the perfect way to better understand how policy affects all aspects of society—from urban development, international relations, and technological change to health care, education, and the law.

The First-Year Fellows program gives first-year students the opportunity to engage in public policy early in their Dartmouth careers. Each year, 20-25 students are selected for summer placement in a diverse range of policy internships in Washington, D.C. with Dartmouth alumni mentors.
