I am delighted to announce that Elizabeth Hayes Alvarez joined the DCAL team as our Program Manager for Student Programs, with an immediate focus on the Learning Fellows Program, in mid-December 2022 – just in time to be involved in winter term preparation! Elizabeth has been working with 2 sections of Bio13 and joining huddles for many of the other winter 2023 LF courses. She’s working with Elaine to get us ready for Spring 2023 LF courses and taking the lead on organizing and updating all the program-related materials. She’ll work on updating this news page so it doesn’t take months to make important announcements and we don’t go years between posts. 🙂

Before coming to Dartmouth, Elizabeth served as Undergraduate Program Director and Associate Professor of Instruction in Temple University’s Department of Religion. She was actively involved in the Diamond Peer Teachers Program through which she mentored undergraduate fellows to facilitate discussions, run weekly learning sessions, and create their own assignments. Elizabeth has collaborated on many innovative teaching opportunities to improve learning for undergraduates in her own courses and campus-wide efforts at Temple. She has also devoted time and energy to community building and work on diversity, inclusion, and conflict management and brings project management experience working with faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate students.
