Kate Ginger ’27 paid attention to the little things. She folded origami animals, laminated pressed flowers and decorated intricate charcuterie boards. She wrote cursive hand-written letters to friends. She asked questions and remembered people’s answers.
Over winter break, students participated in a wide range of activities, from internships to trips with the Dartmouth Outing Club. Dartmouth’s winter break — also known as “winterim” — is unique compared to that of many other colleges. From Thanksgiving until after New Year’s, students are off-campus for approximately six weeks, providing them extended time to pursue opportunities.
For the third consecutive year, The Dartmouth conducted a survey polling the perspectives and opinions of current first-year students after their first term at Dartmouth. Members of the Class of 2029 were asked to compare their high school and college experiences and share their viewpoints on Dartmouth’s Orientation Week, academics and various aspects of student life.
We may now be in a “marathon boom” with more aspiring runners influenced by social media, run clubs and general wellness, according to NBC News. There has been a growth in runners and the number of participants in races, increasing the demand for marathon participants, particularly in the world’s seven most coveted races in London, New York, Berlin, Chicago, Tokyo, Boston and Sydney.
It’s a small thrift store, but there are those that love it. Nestled in Massachusetts Row, the Dartmouth Free Market sits a mere 30 seconds from the path frequented by many on their way to Foco — yet, most students never make the detour to the dimly lit North Mass basement.
As autumn settles over the Green and the initial excitement of move-in day gives way to the steady rhythm of college life, Dartmouth's newest students are finding their footing in ways both familiar and uniquely their own. Three weeks into their first term, the Class of 2029 is navigating everything from confusing campus buildings to social spaces, all while picking up some Dartmouth slang along the way.

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.
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.

How many of you have walked home at 2 a.m. in freezing weather? Missed the last bus to Summit on Juniper and found yourself without a place to sleep? Woken up with the flu or some other mystery illness and needed a ride to Dick’s House — yet opting, without a car, to trek 15 minutes through the snow with tissues and cough drops falling from your pockets?
In February, wintry weather is unavoidable at Dartmouth — from the freezing temperatures to the snow-filled walkways, the cold is sure to follow wherever you go. While some students respond by hunkering down indoors, students in BIOL 61, “End of Winter: Winter Ecology,” are instead choosing to brave the cold.

Dear Diary — I mean, Mirror,
Wind in my face, the crunch of ice and the sun on my back — what better way to spend a Saturday morning? Last weekend, I teetered precariously on my rental figure skates across Lake Morey as couples, children and even dogs zoomed past me. Without the edge of an ice rink, which I would normally cling to, I resorted to squeezing my friend’s hand for the entire hour and a half spent on the frozen lake. Despite my lack of skill, I managed to remain upright and enjoy the crisp air and wintry views. As I skated along the three-mile track, I understood why so many Dartmouth students brave the cold for this activity — skating outside was an experience like no other.
