Student Workshops

Career Development
The Hop is much more than a place for arts students and visiting performers. It is also a vital hub where students, faculty and the Dartmouth community connect and share ideas.
The Hop & Call to Lead
As part of The Call to Lead: a campaign for Dartmouth, a strategic investment of $75 million will be made to the historic performing arts center. More than $15 million has already been generously committed by members and friends of the Hop. The expansion will further animate the burgeoning Arts District as an internationally recognized center of creativity and experiential learning.
