Evergreen Testimonial
As a cognitive scientist and president of Dartmouth, I have a front-row seat to how students are adapting to an increasingly digital world—sometimes in ways that can be very dangerous, but also in ways that can foster the very things that technology is accused of diminishing—including engagement, connectivity, and mental well-being. Beating the mental health crisis will require meeting kids where they are: on their devices.
About Evergreen
Undergraduate life today is more complex than ever—balancing academic pressures, social changes, and an increasingly uncertain world. Evergreen is Dartmouth’s answer: an AI-powered platform designed to give students' proactive recommendations tailored specifically to their well-being and success.
Leveraging Dartmouth’s unmatched history in AI and mental health research and harnessing the power of a collaborative community of students and experts, Evergreen is more than an app—it’s a movement to help every Dartmouth student flourish.
This effort unites Dartmouth’s brightest minds and key campus partners—including Thayer Engineering, DALI, the Computer Science department, the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health, Dartmouth Athletics, Geisel School of Medicine, and the Mental Health Union—to build a resource shaped by diverse perspectives and shared commitment.
Story Spotlight: Dartmouth Joins New National Center on AI and Mental Health
Dartmouth will serve as a leading partner in a new artificial intelligence institute backed by the National Science Foundation, building on the university’s pioneering research in developing digital therapeutics for treating addiction and behavioral and mental health disorders.
Story Spotlight: First Therapy Chatbot Trial Yields Mental Health Benefits
In the first-ever clinical trial of a generative AI-powered therapy chatbot, researchers at the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health at Dartmouth found that the software resulted in significant improvements in participants’ symptoms. While AI-powered therapy is still in critical need of clinician oversight, these results show that it has the potential to provide real-time support for the many people who lack regular or immediate access to a mental-health professional. The results of this groundbreaking study were featured in The New York Times, Forbes, MIT Technology Review, and more.
Story Spotlight: Assessing AI-Driven Approaches to Student Mental Health
Whether AI-powered technology can be leveraged to fill the gaps in mental health care and help students thrive was the focus of the AI and Student Mental Health Symposium, held on March 17 at Dartmouth. This event featured talks and panel discussions on student mental health and AI-driven innovations that can be leveraged to extend and enhance existing support systems.
As a One Dartmouth initiative, Evergreen is a community effort. We're grateful to peer partners across campus for their expertise, support, and commitment to care.
