Please join us in honoring the retirement of Leslie Sonder, Associate Professor of Earth Sciences. Leslie has been a key piece of the faculty in our department since she arrived at Dartmouth in 1988, previously serving as department chair and as the undergraduate major advisor, among her other stellar accomplishments as a teacher and researcher. We wish her the very best in her future endeavors and thank her for all that she has done and continues to do for our department!
