Green honored for his work as a mentor in several organizations.
HANOVER, N.H. – Dartmouth heavyweight rower Michael Green was one of 14 graduating seniors to receive the 2021 Dartmouth Legacy Award Wednesday afternoon in a virtual Special Recognition Celebration.
Since at least 1984, the college has recognized deserving seniors or other graduating students at the end of their final year who, over the course of their time at Dartmouth, have contributed substantially to the quality of life on campus.
For Green — an anthropology major — the award came thanks to his exemplary leadership role in the Office of Pluralism and Leadership's (OPAL) Community Conversations, where he ensured that first-year voices are heard and mentored younger participants.
"It is awesome to see Michael's leadership and contributions to the college's community recognized with this well-deserved award," Betsy and Mark Gates 1959 Head Coach of Men's Heavyweight Rowing Wyatt Allen said. "Michael has been the consummate teammate over the past four years, always finding ways to make those around him better and strengthen the culture of our team. It's clear that this approach has also driven his impact outside of the boathouse, whether through mentoring or tutoring his peers here at Dartmouth or in becoming one of the rowing community's strongest voices on how we improve access and opportunities for underrepresented minorities in the sport.
"We are appreciative of Michael's commitment and contributions to Dartmouth Rowing and wish him all the best as he continues his studies and career in Population Health next fall at Duke," Wyatt added.
A member of the E.E. Just Program and Undergraduate Fellow, Green worked to make STEM research and healthcare more diverse at Dartmouth and beyond. In recent years, he was also a mentor for younger students working in the STEM field.
Additionally, Green was a Globemed Executive Board member, a member of the Libraries Council and an intern at the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention, working in the Office of Innovation Development, Evaluation and Analytics.
Despite never having rowed before coming to Dartmouth, Green leaves a legacy of passion and devotion to his team. He worked with the George Pocock Rowing Foundation, serving as a student services data analyst with Erg Education. All of this helped to demonstrate his passion in promoting access to rowing and how the sport can promote a lifelong positive impact on individuals and community members.
Those who nominated Green cited his compassion and supportive nature as a bridge builder within the Dartmouth community.
