Introducing the New AUK-Dartmouth Program Director

Elizabeth "Beth" Hindmarsh, Program Manager for AUK-Dartmouth, joined the program in October 2011. She worked previously at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. This earlier job provided her with occasional opportunities to work on international projects. As Beth says, "The AUK-Dartmouth Program allows me to contribute full time to one of Dartmouth's major international commitments."

Her work involves regular contact with students, faculty, and administrators on both the Dartmouth and AUK campuses. "I especially like the Dartmouth-to-AUK and AUK-to-Dartmouth student exchanges," Beth says. "It's exciting to see the students explore new environments and meet new people."

When asked what she likes to do when not working with the AUK-Dartmouth Program, she replied, "In Winter I like to ice skate on frozen lakes. After the ice melts, I enjoy canoeing." She hopes that her involvement with AUK will allow her to visit the Salmiya campus soon.

Beth will be working closely with Dale F. Eickelman, Ralph and Richard Lazarus Professor of Anthropology and International Relations at Dartmouth College, and Relationship Coordinator of the American University of Kuwait-Dartmouth College Program.
