The president of Dartmouth, Sian Leah Beilock, points out that “Roger Federer is, without a doubt, one of the greatest athletes of all time, but I am left with the joy that he always showed on the court and I think that will be what “resonates with the class of 2024.”

“I would say that this gift for finding joy in effort—even or especially in times when things were not easy—is one of the keys to his long-term success and his ability, now, to selflessly contribute to causes.” that are more meaningful to him. “I am delighted to welcome him to campus.”
