Every Saturday from May to October, rain or shine, a small patch of grass in Norwich, Vt. bustles with farmers, bakers, artists and customers. The Norwich Farmers Market is one of the oldest and largest farmers markets in New England, according to the Norwich Farmers Market website, becoming a local hub of activity on those Saturday mornings.

Italian plums, a hole forming in my favorite pair of Levi’s jeans, Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” Anthropologie candles, emails that begin with “Thank you for your interest” and end in disappointment, contact-safe eye drops, a warm Pacifico on a Thursday, Imogen Heap’s “Headlock” blasting through my Sony headphones as I do my skin care routine. The first fragments of my senior year.
For many Dartmouth students, a mention of “the Lodge” might spark visions of First-Year Trips, flair and the chaos of hundreds of students after spending the previous three days isolated in the wilderness. But those two weeks in early September when the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge is bursting with nervous freshmen and covered in signs, streamers and balloons only represent a small portion of the Lodge’s character.
Regardless of Dartmouth’s liberal arts approach to education, the Tuck School of Business’ presence on campus means that undergraduates have a resource to strengthen their pre-professional skills, particularly through the Tuck Business Bridge Program, also known as Tuck Bridge. During an intense three-week academic experience, top-ranked Tuck MBA faculty teach attendees a fundamental business curriculum and connect students to a cohesive network of peers and alumni.
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.
