It’s week five of the term, and we’re now in the Dog Days of summer. I find myself waking up every morning groggy, still tired from the night out before. Cakey mascara stains my eyelashes and under eyes while my muscles ache from somehow walking over 15,000 steps the previous day — from class to the river to the dining hall, to up and down frat row in search of a party.
At the northwestern corner of San Francisco, you can look out to the Pacific and see the stump of a lighthouse about a mile from land, built in the early 1900s after a steamer ship was wrecked in the fog. Now partly dismantled, Mile Rocks Lighthouse has long worked in my imagination.
Tucked in the Lewinstein Athletic Center is a room full of stationary bikes, energetic pop music and determined faces. For over a decade, at the helm of this spinning room has been instructor Bernie Hils. Hils, who used to be a personal fitness instructor, is renowned for her high energy and high performance classes. A beloved face in the Dartmouth fitness community, Hils sat down with The Dartmouth to discuss her inspiring fitness journey, the spinning community in Hanover and her plans for the future.
Webster Avenue was unrecognizable on July 19. The usual quiet sidewalks and parked bikes were replaced with laughter, thumping bass and a crowd of Dartmouth students, locals and visiting families reveling in the glorious chaos of Dartmouth Streetfest during Family Weekend.
“Call it a combination of keen attention and ‘a profound indifference’ (to borrow Camus’s words) or a combination of intense emotion and an equally intense apathy. The fact is, there is no word for this state I’ve found myself in, in which lucidity and opacity are one and the same.”
Four federal grants funding research at Dartmouth were canceled at the end of April and in early May, affecting students studying anthropology and health-related fields.
This month, Nordic Skier John Steel Hagenbuch ‘25 was named to the College Sport Communicators’ 2025 At-Large Academic All-America Second Team. He has had a remarkable career at Dartmouth, leading the Big Green to a third-place finish during the 2025 NCAA Championships. Hagenbuch also secured a first place finish in the 7.5k Class race, earning first-team All-American honors. He skis for both Dartmouth and the Stifel U.S. Ski Team, for which he earned a bronze medal in the skate sprint at the 2024 U23 FIS Ski World Championships. The Dartmouth sat down with him to talk about his achievements with Dartmouth and his plans for the future.
Sophomore summer has solidified for me that this is the Dartmouth I chose. The Dartmouth where my professors remember my name after the first day, where friends of friends flitz me to their house parties and where everyone I know happens to be at Late Night at the same time.
I’ve found myself walking more slowly lately. It isn’t a conscious choice. I think I just exist in less of a rush.
On July 14, Dartmouth students, faculty and community members participated in the 44th Annual Prouty, a fundraising event for cancer-related healthcare such as research, patient treatment and family support services. The event was organized by the Dartmouth Cancer Center, a cancer treatment and research center that is part of Dartmouth Health.
This summer, you can't take Connor Federico-Grome ANYWHERE.
Written and directed by James Gunn, “Superman” serves as the launchpad of the DC Universe, a new franchise that overhauls the most recent batch of films based on DC Comics characters. Introducing this new universe, the opening text explains that “metahumans” were discovered over three centuries ago, ushering in an era of superpowered beings. Wisely avoiding retelling the titular character’s well-known origin story, Gunn dives headfirst into action: Superman (David Corenswet) crash-lands somewhere in the Arctic, battered and bleeding after losing his first battle.
Mindy Kaling ’01 is rewriting the script on what a college theater space can be. In June 2025, the award-winning writer, actress and producer donated a gift to fund the Mindy Kaling Theater Lab, which will be located in the newly renovated lower level of the Hopkins Center for the Arts adjacent to the Warner Bentley Theater.
Dear FOTW,
On July 4, President Donald Trump signed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” a budget reconciliation bill that includes new guidelines for higher education financing opportunities, among other policies. The bill eliminates several student loan repayment options, restricts Pell grant eligibility and enacts loan caps — all of which may reshape access to higher education.
Hanover hikers beware. This year, the Northeast is seeing one of the largest surges in tick bites in at least five years, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Dartmouth sat down with geography professor Jonathan Winter, who studies the spread of tickborne diseases, to discuss precautions to take.
Dearest readers of Mirror,
Dartmouth needs a place reserved for an international member on the Board of Trustees. By international, I don’t mean a child of immigrants or a naturalized U.S. citizen. For the purposes of this article, I don’t mean anyone from the Anglo-Western world either. I am talking about people who have been through the daunting process of leaving their home country and crossing linguistic and cultural boundaries to seek an education in the States, but who choose to ultimately return to their countries of origin or settle away from the United States. This, I believe, is where a school like Dartmouth’s calling truly lies — not in contributing to global brain drain or fueling the American corporate machine, but instead creating a class of exceptional individuals who embody “a sense of responsibility for each other and for the broader world,” as outlined in the College’s mission statement. I believe that having an international Trustee is not only symbolically important, but also a strategic imperative to pursue these aims.
