Stamps Scholar Takes Campus Pulse

With a Stamps scholarship and support from the Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Network (DEN), the Office of the President, and the DALI Lab, Terren Klein '17 worked with a team of peers to develop a way for students to access accurate data about their community.

So Pulse users can view charts and graphs showing how the students who were surveyed feel about a wide range of topics.
