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.

Josh Stein ’88 for an event titled “Finding Common Ground: Leadership During a Politically Polarized Time.” Stein, a first-term Democrat in a state won by Republican President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, spoke about governing across party lines in a swing state and the importance of political partnership amid polarization.

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, 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. To be honest, I’ve been dreading this Editors’ Note — the last of the 181st Directorate — because the end of my time on Directorate is akin to taking the first step on the path that leads to graduation. 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.

As New Hampshire’s newly elected Kid Governor for 2025, fifth-grader Jade Adams from Wells Memorial School in Harrisville, N.H., hopes to make New Hampshire the 13th state to ban animal testing. The Kid Governor program is a national award-winning civics program for fifth graders created by the Connecticut Democracy Center and has been implemented in four states. In New Hampshire, the program is led by civics education organization N.H. Civics in partnership with the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, an academic institute at Saint Anselm College. According to Adams, she entered a primary in her classroom and won her school’s nomination during a school-wide election. With the help of her friends and family, she created a campaign video that focused on animal testing. Last November, fifth graders around New Hampshire selected Jade in the state-wide election for Kid Governor, against six other finalists. As she begins her one-year term, The Dartmouth sat down with Adams to talk about her experience with the Kid Governor election process, the position so far and her hopes for the remainder of her term.

This winter, 25 students have been learning about a subject that often feels as unpredictable as the New Hampshire winter weather: love.

A dim light and muffled chatter fill the dark side of the Class of 1953 Commons. I sit across from my friend as we talk about the lives of people we don’t know. Our heads are on a swivel, scanning the space out of habit. I look down at my meal. It’s what I’ve been getting every night for the past few weeks: rice and chicken coated in teriyaki sauce, alongside a salad with balsamic vinegar and too many red pepper flakes.

The Washington Post’s opinion section has long been a hub of diverse thought, featuring voices ranging from staunch conservatives like George Will to progressive columnists like Katrina Vanden Heuvel. It has provided a platform for foreign policy hawks and anti-interventionists alike, for free-market champions and economic populists, for establishment figures and radical critics of power. Last week, Amazon’s billionaire founder Jeff Bezos pulled off one of the most grotesque threats to American media in recent history.

While some students prefer to spend their summers at home, those warmer months can also provide an opportunity to pursue internships abroad. Those who choose the latter might find themselves at the end of Ben Joel ’27’s camera lens. Joel, a digital storytelling intern for the Dickey Center for International Understanding, spent last summer traveling around the world to shadow other Dickey Center “interns at work” and document “their experience through photography, videography and storytelling,” according to the center’s website. Starting in Costa Rica, Joel visited interns across the United States, Vietnam, Kosovo and Kenya, documenting his journey along the way. The Dartmouth sat down with Joel to discuss his extensive journey and reflect on his experiences.

As of June of 2023, race-based affirmative action is no longer permissible, and even when it was practiced, it failed to achieve its goals. When former Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell authored his 1978 opinion in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke — which determined whether affirmative action violated the Equal Protections Clause of the 14th Amendment — he justified race-based admissions as a means to achieve diversity that fosters a “robust exchange of ideas.” The deference that universities were granted when selecting their incoming classes was thus carefully predicated on achieving the educational benefits that flow from “viewpoint diversity,” a point that is almost entirely overlooked in the modern discourse surrounding this issue.

On the ground at Brown University’s Olney-Margolies Athletic Center, throwers were stretching, runners were sprinting and jumpers were getting ready for their jumps. Five meters and 20 centimeters above the ground, Dartmouth pole vaulter David Adams ’26 soared into the program’s history books. With a 5.2-meter vault at the Brown Invitational this Saturday, Adams broke the program record — 5.18 meters — that he had set in 2023.
