With the home crowd packed into the Berry squash courts on Saturday, the Dartmouth men’s and women’s squash teams — ranked ninth and 11th in the country, respectively — delivered statement performances in their season opener against Middlebury College. Both of the Big Green squads swept the Panthers 9-0, combining precision, pace and relentless energy to start the home campaign on dominant footing.
Former U.S. ambassador-at-large for the Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy Nathaniel Fick ’99 told students to spend time in public service and spoke about the role of innovation in foreign policy at a Nov. 12 talk.
Dearest fine readers of Mirror,
On Nov. 4, the Davidson Institute for Global Security hosted former national security advisor Jake Sullivan for an event about his role in the Biden administration’s foreign policy. Sullivan served as U.S. national security advisor under President Joe Biden, worked as a foreign policy advisor for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and served as director of policy planning in the state department under President Barack Obama. Sullivan also taught at the College from 2019 to 2020.
The Rebecca and Mark Byrne Jewelry Studio reopened on the lower level of the Hopkins Center for the Arts on Oct. 3. The studio, formerly the Donald Claflin Jewelry Studio, was located in the Black Family Visual Arts Center for three years while the Hop was under renovation.
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.
Filled with pulsating lights and the sticky humidity of too many bodies packed together, a night in a dorm or fraternity basement has become an iconic aspect of Dartmouth “going out” culture. At the center of it all is the music — the deep, booming bass, the familiar beats that keep students moving long after midnight. And at the heart of the music is the DJ.
This past weekend, I celebrated my friend’s 21st birthday. It’s among the first of what feels like an endless parade of twenty-firsts, milestones that have been hyped up for decades and then arrive, almost absurdly, like any other Saturday night. I walked to CVS at 11:30 p.m. for boxed cake mix, clutching it like something sacred. The cake came out mushy, uneven and a little tragic. I packed it together with both hands, literally molding it into shape, and it still tasted good. Sweet and soft and barely held together, like the night itself.
As we pass the midpoint of fall term, many freshmen like myself may find themselves reflecting on their time on campus thus far. Perhaps the excitement of the first few weeks has faded and been replaced by routine: the same familiar club meetings, ’53 Commons booths and library tables week in and week out. It’s all too easy to settle into our comfort zones, sticking with what feels safe and natural. We might try to rationalize this by appealing to convenience or reminding ourselves of our busy schedules. No matter the justification we come up with, it’s hard to deny that our reliance on routine can cause us to miss some of the most distinctive parts of Dartmouth life — the spontaneous, spirited and often-bizarre experiences that define this school’s culture.
As Dartmouth students continue to be concerned with the future of diversity, equity and inclusion programs under the Trump administration, our nation's top military official has launched yet another attack on what he describes as “identity months, DEI offices [and] dudes in dresses.”
When I arrived back on campus for 25F, my final Hanover fall, it had been a long time. After being off in the winter, abroad in the spring and home for the summer, I was struck by how much had changed while I was away. The front of Collis was no longer boarded up by the construction, Novack had a new fancy line system, the Hop was opening again for the first time since my freshman fall and Foco was now accessible by fingerprint identification. The hardest pill to swallow, though, was the new layout in the gym, something I’ve dubbed the “death of Girl Gym.”
On a brisk September evening, I found myself inside a four-story, historic building housing dozens of Dartmouth students. My friends and I stood around a communal kitchen, complaining about the course selection process and making plans for a night out. The air buzzed with talk of “tails” and “flitzing.” From the sound of it, this could have been any number of buildings on campus. Yet there was something that set it apart: Streaming in through the cracked window was the sound of cars, ambulances, seagulls and horns. The sound of the hustle and bustle.

From 11:00 p.m. on Oct. 6 to 6:30 a.m. on Oct. 7, five Palestine Solidarity Coalition members wrote the names and ages of children killed in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, filling the sidewalks surrounding the Green, Dartmouth Hall, Parkhurst Hall and McNutt Hall.
On Oct. 6, thirty-three Dartmouth students completed the Dartmouth Outing Club Fifty, a roughly 54 mile hike from Moosilauke Ravine Lodge to campus. Nine teams of four participated in the biannual hike, and at least one student from every team finished, according to co-director Chloe Buschmann ’27.
The weather has been strange lately; too warm for October, too bright for this late in the year. Each weekend feels borrowed from summer, the air stubbornly refusing to cool. I walk to class through heat that smells faintly like sunscreen and pavement, and I can’t help feeling like the season has overstayed its welcome. The world seems confused about what it’s supposed to be.
Whether we first encounter them while sweatily hauling boxes up to our dorms during move-in or at a floor meeting on the first night of New Student Orientation, our house-mates’ faces are likely the first ones we see on campus.
The leaves are turning, the wind is whispering and Halloween draws near. As a first-year from South Carolina, a state whose climate is affectionately called “the armpit of the South,” I’ve never lived through a true fall. Because of this, I have an incredibly romantic view of the season. So, in preparation for baby’s first fall, I took a tour of local pumpkin-flavored foods. Fall-elujah!
Grayson Saunier ’27 has been lighting it up on the gridiron in his first season as the starting quarterback for Dartmouth football. His intensity and top-tier athleticism have been noticeable in his first two starts. The junior gunslinger is coming off a huge win at Central Connecticut State University, where he threw for 407 passing yards and two clutch touchdowns, including a game-sealing bomb with seconds on the clock to put Dartmouth ahead.
