A Social Impact Practicum (SIP) is a project-based experiential learning opportunity connecting undergraduate courses at Dartmouth with community needs identified by nonprofit organizations throughout the Upper Valley.
In other words, a SIP is a real-world project with real-world impact.
For more information or to suggest a course that you think could benefit from a Social Impact Practicum, please contact Ashley Doolittle .
DCSI also collaborates with Thayer's Senior Design Challenge to match human-centered design projects proposed by Upper Valley nonprofits with this two-term senior-level engineering course.

“ [SIP] courses’ uniqueness made them challenging, exciting and ultimately some of the most rewarding academic experiences I’ve had at the College. ” - Julia H. ‘20
In the first year and a half, Social Impact Practicums (SIPs) have been integrated into close to 60 academic courses and reached over 800 students
“I had never heard of SIP before this class, but I've found it so much more fulfilling with the addition of the practicum. I will definitely explore [more] of these courses with integrated SIPs in the coming terms.” -Jessica K. ‘17
