Re: Courtyard Cafe temporarily closed for installation of self-order kiosks
As the snow begins to melt across Dartmouth and the Green finally lives up to its name, students find themselves at the fresh start of spring term. Gone are the North Face puffers and Canada Goose parkas, swapped for light fleeces — and for the bold, even shorts. The turn of the term offers more than just a seasonal transition, however. Spring term provides a moment to reflect on ambitious New Year’s resolutions set while possessing a more optimistic January mindset.
On March 2, the Dartmouth Student Government Senate met for its ninth weekly meeting of the winter term.

It’s no secret that college students have a problem with sleep. Whenever I tell my friends I am going to bed at midnight, they are surprised and claim that it is “early.” Several of my peers have reported hearing neighbors’ conversations from their hallways late into the night, including on weeknights. Leaving the library late at night, I pass numerous students still studying, typing away at their computers with their eyes barely open. Whenever I ask other Dartmouth students “How are you?”, the two most common answers I receive are “good” and “tired.” This isn’t just reflected in my personal experience — it’s borne out in the facts. According to the National Institutes of Health, over 70% of college students admit to getting less than the recommended eight hours of sleep per day. Sixty percent describe themselves as “dragging, tired or sleepy” at least three days of the week. This is understandable, seeing as college consists of a substantial amount of daily work, paired with large swaths of free time. The result is that students have considerable discretion over what they choose to spend their time on — and many often use it unwisely.

Provost David Kotz ’86 first arrived in Hanover as an undergraduate more than 40 years ago and has barely left since. After graduating from the College in 1986 with a degree in computer science and physics, Kotz earned his Ph.D at Duke in 1991 and returned to the College to teach later that year. He has risen through academia and administration in the decades since. In July 2021, former College President Phil Hanlon appointed Kotz interim provost, a post that became permanent in January 2022.

During his time as Provost, Kotz has continued to advise graduate students, serving as the Pat and John Rosenwald Professor of Computer Science. Kotz announced that he will conclude his tenure as provost this June after almost three years in office, returning full-time to the computer science department following a year-long sabbatical.
