OUR STRATEGY
Promoting Dialogue
EWS supports the creation of rational and engaging environments among students, faculty and alumni that elevate reason, stimulate discussion and articulate Christian perspectives.
THE DARTMOUTH APOLOGIA
The Dartmouth Apologia is a student-run journal of Christian thought which exists to articulate Christian perspectives in the academic community. Apologia publishes a collection of articles twice a year, written to stimulate dialogue and provide an apologetic for the Christian faith.
THE WATERMAN INSTITUTE
The Waterman Institute is an independent initiative of Dartmouth students, faculty and community members that provides learning opportunities anchored in scholarly inquiry, historical accuracy, and critical thought. The Institute offers classes, seminars, internships, and special events that facilitate the integration of faith and reason with life, learning, and service.
THE WHEELOCK CONFERENCE AT DARTMOUTH
The Wheelock Conference is a one-day forum in which faith and reason harmoniously co-reside and grow together. By uniting students, faculty, and alumni, this Conference engages the hearts and minds of Dartmouth students to live out truth through serving the Dartmouth community and beyond. The Conference enables students to interact with nationally recognized scholars and involved alumni.
SOCIAL NETWORKING FOR ALUMNI & STUDENTS
EWS is creating a network of committed Christian alumni to mentor students seeking practical advice on spiritual and vocational questions.
SUPPORTING STUDENT INITIATIVES
EWS supports student initiatives that provide opportunities for intellectually credible exploration of historic Christian thought, integrating life and learning, ethics and vocation, faith and reason. These programs bring Christian perspectives into the central discourses of the academy, fostering an environment of intellectual curiosity and the honest pursuit of truth. EWS provides funding for these initiatives through seed grant programs for the general campus and the fraternity and sorority system.
SUPPORTING MINISTRIES
EWS supports campus and area ministries through a ministry seed grant program.
