Located at a busy cross-roads of campus, the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center at Dartmouth College is a lively, intellectual gathering place for students and faculty. The Center is a catalyst for public policy research, teaching and deliberation and prepares students for lives of leadership and service in a diverse and globally interdependent world. Dedicated to providing an interdisciplinary perspective on policy-related topics, the Center fosters a commitment to the ideals of public service and informed public debate exemplified by Nelson A. Rockefeller, former governor of New York and vice president of the United States.

The Center endeavors to:

* Develop undergraduates' potential for leadership;
* Support high quality research on policy-related topics;
* Encourage experiential learning in the policy realm;
* Foster campus dialogue about policy issues;
* Stimulate cross-disciplinary approaches to policy problems;
* Promote understanding of policy issues in the community beyond Dartmouth.

The Center pursues these objectives through a variety of programs, including administration of a minor in public policy; an exchange program on political economy at Oxford University's Keble College; financial support for student internships; grants for faculty research and conferences; interdisciplinary faculty seminars and workshops; student leadership-development opportunities; extra-curricular student organizations; and lectures and group discussions with distinguished visiting scholars and policy makers.
