Today, President Donald Trump and President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin will meet in Alaska to discuss a possible end to the war in Ukraine. Students of history may find the circumstance disquietingly similar to an event 87 years ago, but I am shocked by how few people seem to be talking about it.
Campus protests, opinion pieces and open letters continue to petition for boycotts of Israeli academics, as a means of pressuring Israel to end its war in Gaza. I argue that weakening academia anywhere, including Israel, is most likely to have consequences exactly opposite to petitioners’ stated or implied goals of helping Palestinian people in Gaza.
The other morning, I was enjoying a leisurely stroll to the gym. I was doing something dumb on my phone when suddenly, I was struck by a splash of cold water. I looked up, expecting an errant water balloon or an ephemeral summer shower. I was instead greeted by a cold, unfeeling black cylinder emerging mysteriously from the ground. I had once again become the victim of the panopticon of automated sprinklers, whose watering paths frequently fly carelessly in the face of major pedestrian thruways. This 10 a.m. shower is emblematic of something larger on our campus: a strange grass fetish.
Vishva Natarajan MED ’28, a second-year student at the Geisel School of Medicine, was recently named one of 11 recipients of the 2025 Jack & Fay Netchin Medical Student Fellowship from the American Brain Tumor Association. He will receive a $3,000 grant from the ABTA to facilitate further research. Natarajan’s project, which uses artificial intelligence to analyze data from rare brain tumor tissue to improve the study of tumor-related epilepsy, builds on collaborations with Geisel faculty mentors Dr. Jennifer Hong and Dr. Saeed Hassanpour and reflects his interest in harnessing AI to advance neurosurgery. He spoke with The Dartmouth about his research, the importance of his mentors and the future of AI in healthcare.
At the end of the legislative session in July, Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte vetoed seven bills that had passed both chambers with broad support from her own party. The vetoed legislation included bills that would have made it easier to remove books from classrooms, expanded religious exemptions for school vaccine requirements and permitted the requirement of people to use bathrooms according to their sex at birth.
Ph.D. student Xiaotian Liu GR dropped his lawsuit against the Trump administration after his F-1 student immigration status was reinstated on Aug. 8. The New Hampshire chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union and the New England-based law firm Shaheen and Gordon represented Liu after his immigration record was abruptly deleted on April 4.
On July 30, distinguished fellow Ezzedine Fishere published an opinion article in The Washington Post entitled “This country should take over Gaza — for now,” in which he argued that the Egyptian government should become a temporary steward of Gaza to dismantle the threat to Israel and to establish a path towards a Palestinian state. Before becoming a professor at Dartmouth, Fishere served as a diplomat for Egypt and the United Nations.
Ledyard Park, a new park on the east side of South Main Street between Ledyard National Bank and Citizens Bank, is currently under construction and is projected to be completed in the spring of 2026. The project was spearheaded by the Town of Hanover in partnership with local businesses and community groups and aims to create a versatile venue for performances and casual socializing, according to town manager Robert Houseman.
Every Thursday from July through Aug., the Lake Morey Resort — located at the southern tip of Lake Morey in Fairlee, Vt. — hosts weekly concerts for a summer concert series. Last Thursday, Icelandic blues rock band and global superstar KALEO gave an inspiring performance I won’t forget.
“Weapons” writer-director Zach Cregger understands that what makes us scream and what makes us laugh aren’t really all that different. With his 2022 debut feature film “Barbarian,” the pedestrian premise of a double-booked Airbnb veered into a completely different type of film altogether. With “Weapons,” Cregger has expanded his narrative scope and his directorial ambition to produce a sprawling mystery unravelled from six distinct character perspectives.
On Aug. 9, The Hopkins Center for the Arts presented a work-in-progress reading of “The Brothers Play,” a play in development by Iranian-American writer Arya Shahi. The public reading, in which Shahi also acted as the main character, marked the culmination of his creative team’s weeklong Dartmouth residency.
On July 30, Roy Leibovitz ’27 won the triple jump at the Israeli Championships, setting a lifetime personal best of 15.59 meters. The Dartmouth sat down with Leibovitz to discuss his gold medal and experience as a full-time student and international athlete.
Pickleball, America’s fastest-growing sport, has taken Dartmouth by storm. Students of all skill levels find opportunities to hit the courts located near Alumni Gym to play recreationally for a physical education credit or in the College’s intramural league.
Dear Freak of the Week,
Dearest fine readers of Mirror,
I’ve always loved going places. Whether it’s a quick Target run in West Lebanon, a weekend getaway to Wisconsin for a Coldplay concert or a trip to Europe with my family, the joy of possibility has always drowned out any anxiety.
I’ve been journaling a lot this summer. Not every day, and not with the intention of writing anything particularly poetic or put-together, but a lot. It’s mostly scattered thoughts — half-finished sentences, lists of things I’m trying to process, weirdly specific moments I don’t want to forget. It’s like the feeling of driving with the windows down after a long day, or hearing something someone said that hit a little too close. I journal in the times of the day when things slow down: late at night before bed, sitting in my parked car after a long drive or in the 20 minutes between class and Collis lunch when I need to get out of my head.
In recognition of her incredible four years at Dartmouth, cross-country skier Jasmine Drolet ’25 was nominated for the National Collegiate Athletic Association Women of the Year award. The award was established in 1991 to honor the top senior female student-athletes in the country. Each NCAA member school can nominate up to two athletes who best represent academic and athletic excellence, as well as community service and leadership.
Dartmouth plans to borrow more than $450 million through the sale of $300 million in taxable bonds and $156 million in tax-exempt bonds to fund the College’s “long-term capital plan,” College spokesperson Jana Barnello wrote in a statement to The Dartmouth.
Long before she became President Donald Trump’s choice for United States assistant attorney general for the civil rights division, Harmeet Dhillon ’89 was a classical studies major and the editor-in-chief of The Dartmouth Review. Today, Dhillon is a Trump loyalist, the first Republican woman to hold her position within the Department of Justice and a key figure in the Trump administration’s campaign to freeze federal funding for universities on the alleged basis that they have inadequately addressed campus antisemitism.
