The women’s tennis team defeated United States Military Academy at the Alexis Boss Tennis Center in Hanover, N.H. on Jan. 17 to start off the year. Dartmouth ended with 5 points and Army with 2.
Basketball is a game of runs, momentum and showing up when it matters most. The Big Green men’s basketball team accomplished exactly that last Monday night, pulling out a neck-and-neck matchup against the Princeton Tigers in the final minute to win 71-69. Guard Kareem Thomas ’28 was crucial down the stretch for Dartmouth and hit a contested crossover mid-range shot with under a second to go to give the Big Green the lead exactly when they needed it.
Dartmouth Alpine Skiing opened their season on Jan. 16-17 with a win at the Colby Carnival. With 456 points, they beat second-place University of New Hampshire by 74.5 points.

Introspective and anticlimactic, the Bruce Springsteen biopic “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere” is perhaps most accessible to viewers who are already fans of “the Boss.” This is not a traditional biopic — so viewers expecting a narration of the arc of Springsteen’s life will be disappointed. However, those interested in the craft of his songwriting and a glimpse into his emotions will be rewarded.
On Jan. 9, Class of 1954 Intern Sara Shelton ’26 gave a “Space for Dialogue” gallery talk for her debut exhibit at the Hood Museum. Her gallery, “You Just Gotta Laugh,” focuses on how viewers engage with humor. Drawing from the Hood’s permanent collection, Shelton’s installation invites viewers to spend a few minutes laughing. The Dartmouth sat down with Shelton to discuss her new gallery, her experience as a Hood intern and her love for art.

In a 2001 interview for German television, the late author David Foster Wallace was asked about the state of fulfillment in American society. In his response, he observed:
We should be grateful. Dartmouth writers and those who love them have a new home in town, the “Literary Arts Bridge.” Thanks to an anonymous gift of $1.75 million, the English and creative writing department has inaugurated a space “for writers at the forefront of their creative practice — and for students who aspire to join them.” Rarely does such a noble goal earn a cent of funding. We are more likely to see a new “Center for the Accumulation of Wealth” or “Program for the Study of Winning the Rat Race.” But no, this is money for writers. So, again, we should be grateful.
Jan. 5 marked the 250th anniversary of New Hampshire’s adoption of its first state constitution — the first of the 13 colonies to adopt a constitution and form an independent state government. In light of the anniversary, students, faculty members and state historians considered the state’s unique history, culture and political identity.
Rep. Maggie Goodlander, D-N.H., is under investigation from the Department of Justice after appearing in a video that urged military personnel to “refuse illegal orders.” Goodlander appeared in the video alongside five other Democratic members of Congress who have all previously served in the military or intelligence community.
Getting to meet career politicians is nothing new for Dartmouth students, as programs run by the Rockefeller Center for Public Policy bring famous and influential political figures to our school nearly every week. This year has already seen former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf ’77, former National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, come to Dartmouth to speak. But at the end of fall term, our campus got a visit from a different kind of politician.
When I first read JJ Dega ’26’s recent guest opinion, Dartmouth Must Continue to Lead in Health and Wellness, I initially assumed I had been living under a rock. I had not heard of most of the events and people that he referenced in his article — not our chief health and wellness officer, not the Jed Foundation, not even the Seltzer Project that my senior class president seemed so proud of. At first, I chalked these gaps in my knowledge up to the fact that I don’t go out much and called it a day.
On Jan. 20, following an American military operation that captured Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, the Dickey Center for International Understanding hosted a talk on energy security and the “future of Venezuela.”
In recent weeks, Iranian citizens across the country have taken to the streets to protest against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the Iranian regime. The protests, which began in late December, were sparked by an increase in inflation and the collapse of the Iranian rial. Ezzedine Fishere — a distinguished fellow of Middle Eastern studies — said that they reflect deeper systemic issues within the country.
Over winter break, the College re-organized the atrium of the Zimmerman Fitness Center, the workout hub for non-varsity athletes. The changes — including new decor, moving workout machines and upgrading electrical capabilities — prompted mixed responses from students.
