Our Approach
OSS creates space for students to share their unique stories with each other, encouraging them to be curious and engage with any differences that naturally emerge. Through our model, participants deepen their understanding of their peers’ backgrounds, challenge their own assumptions, and learn to value other experiences.

Building Connections
“OSS conversations provide the perfect opportunity to step outside the whirlwind of life at Dartmouth and make time to really talk to each other. When so many of our social interactions are behind screens, dedicated opportunities for in-person conversation are increasingly rare and therefore even more meaningful.” – ELIZA DUNN ‘25
