Professors spoke about how their scholarly work meshes with activism, and staff members shared the personal paths that led them to working with students at Dartmouth.

The meme is so popular that its Facebook page, "Putting bread on your cat, so that people think you have a walking sandwich," has over 20,000 fans.
