Howard Law Professor & Distinguished Attorney Benjamin Wilson, Elected to Dartmouth Board of Trustees


A 1973 graduate of Dartmouth College, Benjamin F. Wilson, along with two other Dartmouth Alumni, Nathaniel C. Fick and Richard H. Kimball, were elected to the Dartmouth College Board of Trustees, following a nomination vote by Dartmouth’s alumni. They will join the board on June 11, following Commencement ceremonies. Stephen F. Mandel Jr., board chair, said, “My fellow board members and I are very pleased to welcome these three outstanding new trustees. Nate, Rick, and Ben bring tremendous enthusiasm, expertise, and dedication to their roles and we look forward to working with them.”

Wilson is the managing principal of Beveridge & Diamond, P.C., the nation’s largest environmental law firm. Ben litigates extensively in federal and state courts, and advises clients in complex business negotiations. He is lead counsel for major corporations and government agencies. Ben serves on the boards of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company and the Environmental Law Institute. He is an adjunct professor at Howard University Law School and a graduate of Harvard Law School. At Dartmouth, Ben was vice president of his class and a member of the varsity football and track teams. After graduation, he founded a mentoring program to foster academic success by minority college students and has been active in fundraising activities. Ben’s three brothers (Harrison ’77, John ’80, and Richard ’84) also attended Dartmouth.

The Board of Trustees has ultimate responsibility for the financial, administrative, and academic affairs of the College, including long-range strategic planning, approving operating and capital budgets, managing the endowment, overseeing the educational program, leading fundraising efforts, setting tuition and fees, and approving major policy changes.
