Dartmouth Events

Hillary Rodham Clinton, former secretary of state, first lady, and 2016 Democratic nominee for president, is coming to Dartmouth on May 8 to speak at this year’s Obenshain Family Great Issues Lecture, an annual event  of the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding, and to meet with students of foreign policy.

Clinton is visiting campus at the invitation of Jake Sullivan, a former foreign policy adviser in the Obama administration, and Daniel Benjamin, Norman E. McCulloch Jr. Director of the Dickey Center. Sullivan is currently the Magro Family Distinguished Visitor in International Affairs at the Dickey Center and was a Montgomery Fellow during the winter term.

The public event, “In Conversation with Hillary Clinton, Daniel Benjamin and Jake Sullivan,” runs from 4:45 to 6 p.m. in Spaulding Auditorium at the Hopkins Center for the Arts.

Students, faculty, and staff with Dartmouth IDs will have first access to the event, and the general public will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis, if seats remain. 

There will be two lines to enter the event. One line will be for those with Dartmouth IDs. All people in this line will need to have a Dartmouth ID, no exceptions. Once in the auditorium, seats cannot be saved. The auditorium will be closed by 4:30pm. 

All attendees will pass through a security check. No bags will be allowed in Spaulding Auditorium. There will be an overflow room for people who are not able to get into the auditorium and the event will be live-streamed.

This event is made possible by the Obenshain Family and co-sponsored by The John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding and the Montgomery Fellows Program.
