Andrew Leland is the author of “The Country of the Blind: A Memoir at the End of Sight,” a Pulitzer Prize finalist that explores Leland’s gradual loss of sight. Leland, who has eye disease retinitis pigmentosa, said he is now left with “tunnel vision,” so seeing is like looking through a “toilet paper tube.”
As I progress through my senior year at Dartmouth, I go back and forth between feeling as though freshman year was a lifetime ago or just last week. This seems to be a universal experience among my friends, and we all reflect on how far we’ve come in different ways. Some remember the time they took ENGS 12 on a whim and instantly fell in love with the hands-on creativity of the human-centered design minor. Others reminisce about their first Hanover winter and how they have since learned to prepare for the toughest season on campus.
What does it mean to Rho Gam? Rho Gammas — also known as “Panhellenic recruitment counselors” — are upperclass members of sororities at Dartmouth selected to guide students through the recruitment process. Rho Gams have to complete required courses designed to strengthen leadership skills and understand the underclassmen community they serve. These trainings are overseen by the Office of Greek Life and Student Societies, who also provide in-person training for Rho Gams, according to the Dartmouth College website.
If you know me, you know that my Google Calendar is a mess. Each hour is blocked off in one-hour increments, all in the same shade of beach-towel blue. Readings for Gov. Rehearsal. Gym. Lunch with friends. Write discussion post. It all ends up looking like one giant day-long block. 9am-10pm. 11 hours. No breaks.
From Jan. 15-17, the Student Wellness Center sponsored my attendance at the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators Strategies Conference, the principal higher education professionals conference for sharing harm-prevention and risk-reduction strategies. I spent three days attending presentation after presentation discussing risk mitigation, engaging Greek life students and reimagining big weekends to integrate safety measures.

The purpose of politics is to serve the public interest, not one’s own. However, it appears that increasingly in the West, fewer and fewer aspiring “leaders” have a respect or understanding for the offices that they seek. More often than not, they are blinded by raging partisanship, uncompromising ideology and an unquenchable drive for positions of great power. Dogmatic politicians are the faces of politics today, and it seems that fewer and fewer policy-oriented individuals enter the arena.
On New Year’s Eve, President Trump hosted his annual black-tie party at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla. In attendance were Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Vice President J.D.

The evening featured fine dining, conga dancing, live music and even a live painting of Jesus Christ, which was later auctioned off for a modest $3 million.
In an era of floundering Disney remakes and sequels such as the live-action “Snow White” and “Moana 2,” “Zootopia 2” is an imaginative return to the quick-witted, touching Disney of my childhood. The sequel to the beloved 2016 animated film seamlessly integrates sociopolitical themes into a heartwarming movie geared towards children. The film also dares to ask: What would the child of a fox and bunny look like?
“American Pop,” on view at the Hood Museum of Art from Dec. 13, 2025 through Nov. 7, 2026, reframes Pop Art as an evolving visual language shaped by consumer culture, colonial histories and environmental concerns.
