Hill Winds Society
HWS_Appreciation_2009

The Hill Winds Society, sponsored by the Office of Alumni Relations, is a diverse group of students selected to be ambassadors to the alumni body. The society was founded in 2006 and is currently comprised of 30 students from the Classes of 2010, 2011, and 2012. Society members are selected based on their campus involvement, communication skills, leadership ability/potential, and an infectious Dartmouth spirit. From a variety of interests, backgrounds, and disciplines, these students represent the best of what Dartmouth has to offer.

Society members are charged with representing aspects of student life to alumni and creating a link between the current students and the men and women who have graduated from Dartmouth. Members strive to develop a network of contacts with other energetic, involved students and successful graduates by creating and attending student–alumni programs.
