Dartmouth Council on Climate Change (DC3)

DC3 is a student organization open to undergraduate and graduate students interested in the global impact of climate change.

The student organization, Dartmouth Council on Climate Change (DC3), works to increase awareness of international climate change issues within the Dartmouth community. Past events have included lectures by international experts, conference attendance, dinner discussions with Dartmouth environmental faculty, a tour of the ice lab at Thayer, and a climate change simulation.

DC3 also work with other Dartmouth environmental groups as well as with graduate students studying polar environmental change.

For more information about DC3, visit DC3Dartmouth blog, email DC3@darmouth.edu or visit our ORGSYNC.COM page. They are always looking for new members and leaders.

Science, Technology and Engineering Policy Society

The Science Technology and Engineering Policy Society (STEPS) is a student-led organization bringing together graduate and undergraduate students, along with postdoctoral researchers, across disciplines and schools at Dartmouth with a shared interest in science policy.

The world's great challenges, from public health emergencies to rapid climate change to food security, increasingly require science and technology knowledge to inform policy and decision-making. To effectively engage in policy, scientists and engineers must have an understanding of complex policy landscapes and develop new skills in science outreach, collaboration, and communication. 

Mission

STEPS brings together graduate students, undergraduate students, and postdoctoral researchers at Dartmouth around the topic of science policy. Our goals are to:

  • promote dialogue and learning about science policy and related topics,
  • provide resources and promote career development in science policy, and
  • educate young researchers about the many ways to engage with policy.
