The government class and 2024 Election Speaker Series co-sponsored by the Rockefeller Center and Dartmouth Dialogues has brought such speakers as Vice President Mike Pence, U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, conservative columnist Bill Kristol, and civil rights lawyer and scholar Sherrilyn Ifill to campus this fall, leading up to Election Day.

The class and livestreamed series, which will include Anita Hill in February, has been drawing an audience and helping students and community members see across the political divide.

As Fetterman said during his talk at Dartmouth in October, “I would encourage you—don’t just pick your own bubble. Challenge yourself and read things you don’t agree with.”
