Ledyard Explorers Symposium
Will feature Ledyard alums who will talk about how they've integrated their river experiences into their lives and a panel on hydropower vs. conservation.
The Dartmouth Explorers Symposium will take place in Dartmouth Hall 105. The event will feature Ledyard alumni who have been part of historic adventures from the 1972 Munich Olympics, which introduced the world to whitewater racing and saw the murder of Israeli athletes by Palestinian terrorists, to the 1966 and 1985 National Geographic Sea of Japan and Korea expeditions, to a 1984 trip that was the first to kayak the Great Gorges of the Yangtze. These Dartmouth explorers will talk about how they’ve integrated their river experiences into a broad range of careers including politics, clean energy, medicine, business and film making. The Explorers Symposium will also feature a panel on hydropower vs. conservation — “Climate Solution and Conservation Challenge” — including Frank Magilligan, Dartmouth Professor of Geography; Amy Singler, Director of River Restoration with American Rivers; and a representative of the National Hydropower Association.
