**ANNOUNCEMENT**
Sign Up to Interview Applicants for the Class of 2023
With the Regular Decision application deadline fast approaching, the DCC is in need of volunteer alumni interviewers. If you are interested in interviewing applicants from China, please contact Chris Wang ’98 by WeChat (ID: 18612809911). Graduate school alumni are more than welcome to interview candidates as well.
Alumni interviewers play an integral role in Dartmouth’s recruitment, admissions, and yield efforts. Some of Dartmouth’s most impressive students in recent years have come from the pool of applicants from China, as evidenced by the fact that two of the four valedictorians from the Class of 2017 hailed from China!

DCC Hosts Dickey Center Director in Beijing
More than 25 alumni from the Dartmouth China Club gathered in Beijing to host Daniel Benjamin, Director of the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding, for dinner and discussion on November 13th.

Quoting Dartmouth’s longest-serving president, Benjamin noted the mission of the Center is to “make the world’s problems our problems”, and fielded questions from the audience about some of the biggest issues facing Dartmouth, US-China relations, and the world today.

Senior Asst. Director of Admissions Visits Shanghai and Beijing
Alumni in both Shanghai and Beijing had the opportunity to meet with Zholl Tablante, who serves as Senior Assistant Director of Admissions and oversees admissions for the Asia region. Zholl spoke to alumni about changes that have occurred in Dartmouth admissions since Lee Coffin took over as Dean of Admissions in 2016.
