The Class of 1989 has raised $30 million to fund a new residential building on West Wheelock Street, the College announced today. Construction of the new facility, which will include the Class of 1989 Hall and a currently unnamed hall, will add 150 to 200 new beds to campus.
On Feb. 2, the Dartmouth Student Government Senate met for its fourth weekly meeting of the winter term. Led by student body president Chukwuka Odigbo ’25, senators and attendees spoke with College President Sian Leah Beilock and other administrators.
Every other morning this past fall, as I started a long walk from the East Wheelock cluster to my 10 a.m. class, I had a lovely, peaceful view of the center of campus. I first passed by the quaint, quintessentially New England Dartmouth Hall. The building’s simple yet timeless design reminds us of the College’s humble origins. I then made my way toward Rauner Special Collections Library, with its enormous columns and vast windows bringing grandeur to the Green. I passed by Baker Library, which stands as the centerpiece of Dartmouth’s campus, the perfect anchor. All of these buildings are positioned neatly, respecting the Green and their surroundings. The campus has structure, and it feels almost too perfect, like something you would see in a movie but would never find in real life.
I have never purchased Dartmouth merchandise. No, it is not because I lack school spirit. No, it is not because I’m “too cool for school.” It’s not because I think I can get an internship at Goldman Sachs without relying on those sweet Dartmouth connections, either. Trust me, I would love to tell airport crowds that I go to Dartmouth as much as the next guy. I do not own Dartmouth merchandise because I don’t think it’s worth it, given how much it currently costs.
Enter the sauna in the Alumni Gymnasium men’s locker room, and you’ll see a gaggle of Dartmouth students braving the winter months. Some may enter following a strenuous workout, while others may be desperately trying to sweat out a hangover. Others may be waiting outside the sauna door, unsure whether to enter — after all, the saunas can be intimidating for newcomers who are unaware of the culture and expectations within. Since the start of the term, I have been conducting a thorough cultural exploration of the men’s sauna. I hope this resulting guide will ease any fears about entering it.
On Jan. 10, 2024, College President Sian Leah Beilock launched Dartmouth Dialogues, a program designed to “facilitate conversations and skills bridging political and personal divides,” according to past coverage by The Dartmouth. The initiative has included several speaker series, a partnership with StoryCorps One Small Step — a nonprofit dedicated to organizing conversations with individuals across the political spectrum — and the Dialogue Project, a skill-building initiative designed to “foster empathy, active listening and collective responsibility,” according to past coverage.
Though elections may be periods of confusion and uncertainty for the average voter, many social scientists see them as opportunities for research and data collection — including Carson Goh ’25, a government and quantitative social science double major. On Nov. 25, Goh won the Wilson Carey McWilliams award for best undergraduate research paper at the annual New England Political Science Conference in Newport, R.I. Goh’s paper, titled “Competition or Representation? How the Public Views Substantive and Descriptive Effects of Independent Redistricting Commissions,” explores how minorities are represented in elections. His research found support for independent redistricting commissions decreases when they are presented as threats to majority-minority districts — those where racial or ethnic minority populations form a district’s largest voting bloc. The Dartmouth sat down with Goh to discuss his background, research and plans after his upcoming graduation this spring.
On Dec. 24, 2024, President Joe Biden signed the Stop Campus Hazing Act into law, requiring higher education institutions to disclose reports of hazing in their annual Clery Reports on campus crime. Additionally, the bill requires higher education institutions to develop a “prevention program on hazing.”
Whether through clubs, ensembles or academic departments, Dartmouth students are given several outlets to engage with the arts. Despite some perceptions of a corporate focus on campus, several creative students continue to pursue art — both professionally and personally — after graduation.
The Hood Museum of Art’s landmark exhibition, “Cara Romero: Panûpünüwügai (Living Light),” will travel to the Phoenix Art Museum on Feb. 28, 2026 and remain in the city until June 2026 following its showcase at the Hood, according to Hood Museum website. The move marks the Hood’s first traveling exhibition in over a decade, according to curatorial affairs associate director and Hood Indigenous Art curator Jami Powell.
The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has been a historically active one so far, with 11 hurricanes recorded — five of which measured over a Category Three, designated “major hurricanes” by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
For months, Maggie Emerson ’25 could not bear to even think about ice hockey.
On Nov. 1, the theater department and the Black Underground Theater Alliance, a student-run organization, opened their sold-out production of William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” at the Theater on Currier. The groups offered six additional performances through Nov. 9.
At 5:35 a.m. on Nov. 6, The Associated Press called the 2024 presidential election for former President Donald Trump — marking the first time in 20 years a Republican presidential candidate has won the popular vote. The result came as a shock to some Dartmouth students — a majority of whom expressed plans to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Erica Barks-Ruggles, the former U.S. ambassador to Rwanda, joined Dartmouth’s faculty this August as part of the Dickey Center for International Understanding’s Magro Family Distinguished Visitors in International Affairs program for the fall term. The program invites experts in international politics to give lectures or teach full courses at Dartmouth, according to the Dickey Center.
