Stevenson: Uplifting Student Voices is Necessary for Impactful Climate Education.

Pretti: Dartmouth Must Attract More Student Veterans

In the wake of the landmark 2023 Supreme Court Case Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard University, which declared the explicit use of race in college admissions unconstitutional, elite colleges like Dartmouth have sought to show that they base their admissions decisions on diversity of experience, rather than identity checkboxes. Perhaps no admitted student group better offers this desired experiential diversity than student veterans.

Skinning, Shredding and Studying: Dartmouth Students’ Favorite Ski Spots

Before I arrived at Dartmouth last fall, I had not skied in over four years. Nonetheless, I eagerly bought a discounted student pass to the Dartmouth Skiway over winterim. I was ready to embrace the icy New England winter and revive my rusty skiing skills at a mountain just 13 miles away from campus. Sure enough, escaping to the Skiway, whether on a cloudy Tuesday morning or a bustling Saturday afternoon, has been a highlight of my term and made the season feel much less dreary.

Mirror Asks: The 181st Directorate

What roles have you held on The Dartmouth, and what was your role on the 181st Directorate? 

The Last Editors’ Note of the 181st Directorate

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall: it’s Gretchen, writing from one of the mysteriously-stained, slightly-too-squishy couches that lives on the second floor of Robinson Hall — the same couch I’ve sat on for the past four years at Mirror story assignment meetings.

And that, in turn, feels somewhat like stepping off the edge of a cliff when you don’t know what lies beneath — not to be dramatic or anything. Clearly, our last night of production is filling me with the first twinges of nostalgia for my college experience.
