College President Jim Yong Kim reiterated the central message of his inaugural address in a speech to alumni on Friday, emphasizing that he is fully committed to upholding Dartmouth's focus on undergraduate education and traditions like First-Year Trips.

Dartmouth education professor Andrew Garrod, who will retire this year, was awarded Student Assembly's Fall 2008 Profiles in Excellence Award at a dinner in his honor Monday night. The Assembly gives the award each term to a professor who has been nominated by his or her students for exceptional teaching. Students who nominated Garrod praised his "life-changing" courses and his ability to make personal connections, according to an Assembly e-mail. Garrod, who has written several books, was previously recognized by the Tucker Foundation for his work with Bosnian high school students, his development of Dartmouth's Marshall Islands Teaching Fellowship and his work with the Summer Enrichment at Dartmouth program.
A memorial service for Cody Lavender '10 was held in Rollins Chapel Wednesday evening. Lavender's family, along with friends and members of the Dartmouth community, shared memories of his life and called for those in attendance to continue his tradition of activism. Valerie Lavender, Cody Lavender's mother, read from a collection of condolence letters sent to the family by Lavender's friends. One letter described him as someone who "lived honestly, passionately and generously." The memorial also featured the Occom Pond Singers, who performed a Native American honor song as a celebration of Lavender's Navajo heritage, and a reading from Lavender's 2008 open letter to campus calling for unity within the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community. "Cody was deeply loved by the [Women's and Gender Studies] department," said Michael Bronski, a senior lecturer in the department who worked closely with Lavender. "He cared passionately about people, all people." Lavender died in December while studying at the University of Edinburgh on the religion department's Foreign Study Program.
College students are the most likely group to have their voter registrations rejected in Orange County, Fla., the Orlando Sentinel reported last Friday. Florida's new "no match, no vote" law requires Social Security and driver's license numbers of registrants to match those in government records. Areas around the University of Central Florida and Rollins College had the highest numbers of voter registration rejections in the county, due in part to students' "horrible" handwriting, Orange County Supervisor of Elections administrator Margaret Dunn told the Sentinel. It was also more difficult to match Social Security numbers when applicants used out-of-state drivers licenses, she said. Of the 846 rejected Orange County residents, 46 percent were Democrats, nine percent were Republicans and the remain did not have a party affiliation.
