Busi­ness­week looks atstu­dent vet­er­ansin the Ivy Life.

Dart­mouth, which has 20 ex-sol­dier grad­u­ate stu­dents, is see­ing “an in­creased level of in­ter­est for vet­er­ans who are con­sid­er­ing pur­su­ing un­der­grad­u­ate study here,” Latar­sha Gatlin, a spokes­woman, said in an e-mail. Dart­mouth en­cour­ages vet­er­ans to come to cam­pus be­fore en­roll­ment to meet other vet­er­ans and work on is­sues like hous­ing and VA ben­e­fits, she said. The school also has had a des­ig­nated con­tact for for­mer mil­i­tary mem­bers.

...​Attending an Ivy League cam­pus can be lonely, vet­er­ans say. Around Him, the Dart­mouth stu­dent, said he keeps to him­self on cam­pus, hav­ing lit­tle in com­mon with his fel­low schol­ars at the Hanover, New Hamp­shire, school and pre­fer­ring to con­cen­trate on his stud­ies.

“It’s harder for non-tra­di­tional stu­dents to find so­cial spaces at a school like Dart­mouth,” said Around Him, who is study­ing ed­u­ca­tion and in­tends to re­turn to his reser­va­tion to teach. Al­most half of vet­er­ans who have used their GI ben­e­fits went to a school with a well-de­fined vet­er­ans’ pres­ence of more than 300, ac­cord­ing to Vet­er­ans Af­fairs data.

The gap in life ex­pe­ri­ence makes vet­er­ans feel older than their age, when they’re al­ready older than most class­mates, re­turn­ing sol­diers say.

Stu­dents gath­ered Thurs­day night in Halde­man Hall for the first cam­pus-wide work­shop of the Col­lege’s newBring­ing in the By­stander pro­gram, an ef­fort to tackle sex­ual vi­o­lence on cam­pus, ac­cord­ing to Amanda Chil­dress, one of the co­or­di­na­tors of theSex­ual As­sault Aware­ness Pro­gram.

In order to in­still a sense of ac­tive cit­i­zen­ship in Dart­mouth stu­dents, Helen Da­mon-Moore, di­rec­tor of ser­vice and ed­u­ca­tional pro­grams at the Tucker Foun­da­tion, col­lab­o­rates with Col­lege fac­ulty to in­cor­po­ratecom­mu­nity-based re­searchand learn­ing into classes in var­i­ous de­part­ments. Pro­jects have ranged from build­ing a play struc­ture for Lyme Nurs­ery School as part of a course on en­gi­neer­ing de­sign to con­sult­ing with Rwan­dan refugee women in “Women, Gen­der and De­vel­op­ment.”

In­fil­tra­tion of Rwan­dan and Ugan­dan rebels in the De­mo­c­ra­tic Re­pub­lic of the Congo, the mon­strosi­ties of rape and tor­ture faced by Con­golese women and the ex­ploita­tion of the re­gion’s min­eral re­sources by for­eign com­pa­nies were among the top­icsad­dressed by speak­ersfrom the Ver­mont Ibutwa Ini­tia­tive Thurs­day night at an event hosted by the So­cial Jus­tice Al­liance.
