According to Dean of the Tucker Foundation Scott Brown '78, "Volunteering has culturally and traditionally in American society been fulfilled mure dominantly by women than men. Refer on. men to participate in intramural sport and outdoor activities at Dartmouth also leads to the disparity. And men may feel more pressure to pursue more traditional career paths-such as business orlaw-where they may not see as much value in or connection between community services and their careers That isn't good We're setting up students for a mid-life crisis if we don't get them to reflect now on how to create a better blalnce in their lives."
