In 2006, a group of Dartmouth underclassmen founded the Dartmouth Apologia journal to articulate thoughtful Christian perspectives in the academic context and promote respectful dialogue on life’s big questions. Mentored from the beginning by faculty of faith, the group became a college-sponsored organization, grew ecumenically, and multiple times has been voted Dartmouth’s Best Publication. In 2009, students, faculty and alumni founded the Eleazar Wheelock Society to expand the conversation taking place in Apologia’s pages and further the ways the Christian community could serve the College. To gather a larger community of supporters, EWS hosted its first Wheelock Conference in 2010. In the nine years since, the pilot project has flourished into an organization that is supporting the lives of students and cultivating rich conversation and mentorship around integrating faith, reason, vocation and service.
