Following my First-Year Trip at Dartmouth’s Organic Farm, I considered myself a near-expert agriculturalist. In the handful of days I spent at the O Farm, pulling the occasional weed from the rows of squash — or more often snacking on ripe cherry tomatoes — I felt nature-bathed and rejuvenated before the start of the year.
In early September, the Class of 2028 arrived to a campus under renovation, with fewer spaces available to socialize than previous freshman cohorts had experienced. The two-year construction of the Fayerweather Halls, which began in June 2024, as well as the initial phase of renovations to the Collis Center porch, has eliminated two spots where past freshmen classes typically socialized.
Fall in Hanover, much like the leaves, signals change — peak foliage season, exams in what seems like every other week and for some, perhaps the spark of a new romance. For students in long-distance relationships, though, the later weeks of the fall term might be the point at which distance and time spent apart start to sink in. The intensity of the quarter system — which leaves little time for travel — is far from ideal, making quick visits and sustained long-distance relationships challenging.
One of the virtues of the D-Plan, off-terms offer Dartmouth students 10 weeks of unbridled freedom to explore. That liberty, though, can double as a source of frustration. How exactly should you spend two-and-a-half months off campus during the school year? While many students choose to find employment domestically or relax at home, others take a more unique approach: working an internship abroad.
Fall foliage has drawn an influx of tourists to the Granite State in recent weeks, WMUR reported. With more visitors comes more revenue for local businesses. New Hampshire Travel and Tourism projected $1.8 billion in additional tourist spending this season — and Hanover business owners have felt the effects.
On Oct. 16, the Dickey Center for International Understanding hosted three Russian dissidents — Vladimir Kara-Murza, Evgenia Kara-Murza and Tikhon Dzyadko — for an event titled, “Dissidence and Democracy in Russia: A Work in Progress.” The event focused on the “fight for democracy” in Russia, according to the Dickey Center website.
The new DreamWorks film “The Wild Robot” was officially released on Sept. 27 and has been on show at the Nugget Theaters in Hanover since mid-October. The film features Academy Award-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o as the voice of Roz, a robot designed to complete tasks for humans. In the film, Roz crash lands on an island devoid of human contact and must learn to survive amid dangers she was not originally programmed to handle.
On Oct. 15, the Afro-American society, Al-Nur Muslim Student Association, Dartmouth Asian American Studies Collective and Spare Rib Magazine held a vigil for Marcellus Williams. Williams was executed on Sept. 24 in Missouri despite protests from the case’s prosecutors and the victim’s family, according to the Associated Press.
On Oct. 7, the Hanover Selectboard named Robert Houseman the new town manager — the position responsible for managing Town departments and ensuring that Town operations address the needs of residents. Houseman previously spent two months as interim town manager after Alex Torpey stepped down from the position in July. Before stepping into the role, Houseman served as director of the Hanover department of planning, zoning and codes from 2016 to July 2024. In all, Houseman has 38 years of municipal experience across New Hampshire, including as a circuit rider planner in Durham and a cartographer in Wolfeboro. The Dartmouth sat down with Houseman to discuss the local housing crisis, staffing shortages and his plans for Hanover.
Uwill — a teletherapy service available to Dartmouth students for free — will now offer longer counseling sessions, Dartmouth Student Government announced in a campus-wide email on Oct. 14. The College’s updated Uwill contract increases the maximum session length from 30 to 50 minutes, according to Dartmouth Counseling Center director Heather Earle.
On Oct. 6, the fifth annual Omondi Obura Peak Bag raised approximately $35,000 for Campus Connect, according to Steve Cook ’88. Peak Bag, a mental health awareness event, was created by the Class of 1988 to honor former lightweight rower Omondi Obura ’88, who died by suicide in 1989. The event — organized by the Peak Bag Fund — encourages participants to complete an outdoor activity of choice, such as a walk, hike, swim or paddle, according to the Peak Bag website.
On Oct. 16, the Rockefeller Center for Public Policy and Dartmouth Civics co-hosted the chairs of the respective New Hampshire state Republican and Democratic parties — Chris Ager and Raymond Buckley — for a discussion titled “From Tuning Out to Turning Out: Young Voter Engagement in the 2024 Election.” The conversation was facilitated by Dartmouth Civics co-presidents Armita Mirkarimi ’25 and Bea Burack ’25.
On Sept. 27, New Hampshire Liquor Commission officers arrested a member of the Class of 2027 at Han Fusion — a Chinese, Japanese and Thai fusion restaurant in downtown Hanover — after he presented them with fake identification.
New Student Orientation for the Class of 2028 is over. So far, I have felt that my transition into the College’s environment has been consistently prioritized. Orientation was full of valuable resources, from meeting Dartmouth faculty to learning how to print on campus. While I appreciate all this effort, the mandatory session “WE Are Dartmouth” had a uniquely negative effect on my experience: led by Rev. Dr. Jamie Washington, president and founder of the Washington Consulting Group and Social Justice Training Institute, the session made me increasingly uneasy with each slide. The presentation asked participants to stand up to identify with markers of ethnicity, financial status, religion and more, pressuring me to publicly embody assigned qualities — most of which I cyclically question myself. While I don’t even fully know who I am, I was nonetheless forced to show my evolving identity to the whole 2028 cohort.
If Cooper Puckett ’25 were like most students, he’d probably be getting ready to graduate. After all, he’s been here for four years. He’s a senior. He’s experienced nearly everything Dartmouth has to offer.
As the game-winning ball sailed toward a wide-open David Pantelis, it seemed inevitable that he would catch it. The Yale University receiver had torched the Dartmouth defense all game — hauling in three touchdowns — and Yale had just scored a touchdown in overtime to put them within a point of the Big Green.
