OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS

On January 20, Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as the 45th President of the United States of America. It’s clear from Trump’s campaign rhetoric and cabinet appointments that the Trump Administration will represent a stark contrast from that of President Obama. The November elections also solidified the makeup of Congress, with Republicans maintaining a majority in the Senate and House of Representatives.

To analyze what a Republican White House and Congress might mean for the U.S. and the world, Dartmouth College is convening a series of four panel discussions during the week of the presidential inauguration. The theme of the discussion is “Opportunities and Risks,” and the panels will offer a chance for experts from across Dartmouth to evaluate President-elect Trump’s and GOP policy proposals, and talk about their likelihood of being implemented and possible implications.
