Susan Dentzer

Dentzer is chair of the Dartmouth Board of Trustees and has a longstanding interest in higher education. She speaks on a range of topics in this field, including the importance of liberal arts education; the costs and value of higher education in general; critical issues in university and academic governance. She has also delivered several commencement addresses. Rather than giving off-the-shelf address, she prefers to tailor those speeches so they pertain more directly to the institution at which she is speaking and to the students who are graduating, in order to give the occasion a personal touch.
