Hello, Mirror readers, and welcome to fall term!
Though Main Street is situated right across from the College, it often feels like its own little world, bustling with restaurants like Molly’s and shopping destinations like Still North Books and Bar, J-Crew and Lemon Tree Gifts. To many students, the shops and restaurants of Main Street provide an escape from campus life. For those students who work at businesses in town or throughout the Upper Valley, the local area offers a new working environment.
College students are notoriously stereotyped as late risers, and Dartmouth is certainly not the exception. Many of us are quick to complain about our dreaded 9Ls, the class period which begins at 8:50 a.m. Some even bemoan our 10s (10:10 a.m.) and 11s (11:30 a.m.).
As the fall term dawns on us, seniors are entering their final year on campus as members of the Class of 2025. During their time at Dartmouth, they’ve taken seminars, labs and lectures, exploring Dartmouth through a multitude of departments. Beyond the classroom, they’ve completed sophomore summer, enjoyed off-terms and traveled abroad. So what does their last year look like? In many cases, seniors choose to showcase their academic growth by devoting their last year to completing a thesis — a culminating experience tailored to their major.

Hi, Class of 2028!
While walking down Main Street in Hanover on a sunny summer day, the array of sweets in the window of My Brigadeiro caught my eye. For the last two years, I had only heard rave reviews about the café, but I had never ventured inside. Something about the sunlight hitting the glistening croissants on this particular day finally drew me in.
“Brat” is difficult to define, especially when I’m trying to explain to my mom why labeling Vice President Kamala Harris as a brat is a good thing and why everything seems to be lime green. “Brat,” British singer Charli XCX’s most recent album, has become a cultural phenomenon in the short months since its June 7 release.
Per Dartmouth tradition, many members of the Class of 2026 are on campus and enrolled for sophomore summer — a time of sunshine and class bonding. Some sophomores, however, are spending the summer away from classes — or Hanover altogether.
Although walking around campus this summer has been a battle, with all of the new fences and blocked roads due to construction, something new has sprouted up amid the dust — an on-campus garden.
Still North Books & Bar is a downtown Hanover staple and a must try in the Upper Valley. The hybrid café, bar and bookstore, located at 3 Allen St., is frequented by students and locals alike looking for a place to work, a new book to read or a delicious bite to eat — and it’s sure to join your list of favorites.
About one-fifth of Dartmouth’s Board of Trustees, composed of 26 members, graduated from the Class of 1991 — including some of the Board’s biggest celebrities. From television producer and screenwriter Shonda Rhimes ’91 H’14 to journalist Jake Tapper ’91 H’17 and former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal ’91, the former classmates stand out in number and stature. The Dartmouth spoke with some of the ’91 Trustees to learn more about their role on the Board — and investigate whether they might have an outsized influence (or perhaps some friendly class rivalry).
Three classes worth of homework, clubs, sports and social gatherings often fill our days, leaving us wondering, “Where did the time go?”
Umpleby’s Bakery & Café — if you haven’t eaten there, you’ve heard of it. Maybe you have friends who work there, maybe you’re a parent and your student took you there for lunch last parents’ weekend or maybe the little South Street locale has been sitting on your to-do list. No matter your relationship to the café, I have reviewed it for you and am excited to give you some insight into one of Hanover’s favorite spots.
This summer, I let my housing situation be determined by fate. After being off campus for two terms in a row, I took a chance and luckily received an air-conditioned room on campus.
