Many Dartmouth alumni consider themselves learners for life, and as a result enjoy the opportunity to visit campus to hear lectures from Dartmouth College professors—some of the top scholars in the world.

Since we understand not all alumni can physically be here, we’ve created this database in the attempt to bring this rich content to you, wherever you are in the world (with an Internet connection!).

On this page you’ll find more than 50 lectures on topics ranging from the life of Norman Maclean ’24 (by Professor Donald Pease), to the power of language (by Professor John Rassias), to global oil markets (by Professor Dirk Vandewalle).

Visitors may find it convenient to browse topics through the following categories: business and finance; the humanities; politics and government; science, technology, and health; and Dartmouth history.

Enjoy your visit, and consider yourself a student again.
