DP2 for All
The performance work began with varsity athletes. The Teevens Center extends it to everyone.
The Teevens Center is Dartmouth's campus-wide initiative for student performance, leadership, and well-being.
DP2 is Dartmouth Athletics' performance program for varsity athletes.
DP2 for All is one of the Center's programs. It opens the most useful DP2 tools — mental performance, leadership, and nutrition — to every Dartmouth student.
About DP2 for All
DP2 for All extends the same performance tools built for varsity athletes, mental performance coaching, nutrition guidance, and leadership training, to the rest of campus. This year the program reached 500+ non-varsity students through more than eight campus partners, including Army ROTC, the Tuck School of Business, the Hopkins Center for the Arts, the Rockefeller Center, the Guarini School, the Tucker Center, and the First-Generation Office.
The program also launched its first credit-bearing courses, Mental Performance and Thriving @ Dartmouth, co-taught across the winter and spring terms and reaching 60 students. Feedback has been strong: 95% of participants want more programming.
“Partnering with the Teevens Center has been one of the more valuable collaborations we've had. The nutrition and mental performance sessions gave our students practical tools they could use right away, and just as importantly, they were delivered in a way that met students where they were rather than assuming prior knowledge. For first-generation students who are often navigating Dartmouth without a roadmap, having this kind of support is truly beneficial, and our students really appreciated connecting with a department they wouldn't usually think they can get support from”
