Our Shared Community
Tuck Executive Education at Dartmouth programs operate within Dartmouth College’s Principles of Community, which affirm the value integrity, responsibility, and consideration across all activities. Participants are expected to contribute to a learning environment that is welcoming, respectful, and conducive to thoughtful dialogue.
At Tuck, learning is distinctly personal, connected, and transformative, grounded in the School’s mission to develop wise, decisive leaders who better the world through business. Executive Education participants play an active role in upholding these values.
Purpose

To achieve this, we expect all participants to act in ways that foster a positive experience for everyone. Dartmouth’s expectations for participant behavior at all programs, as well as the consequences for unacceptable behavior, are described below:
Expected Behavior
- Be considerate and respectful of all community members, guests, and property during programs.
- Alert Tuck staff if you have a concern.

- Other unacceptable behaviors include, but are not limited to, deliberate intimidation, stalking, photographing or recording an individual against their wishes, and disruption of speeches or other events.
If you Witness Unacceptable Behavior
If you experience or witness unacceptable behavior by an attendee, please contact a Dartmouth staff member or a program organizer for assistance. In an emergency, call 911 or campus security.
Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior
Anyone asked to stop engaging in alleged unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately. Dartmouth staff and administration may take actions to address the behavior, up to and including expulsion from the event without prior warning or refund.
