Whether it’s competing on a varsity team, taking a four-course term, running three different organizations, taking skiing for physical education credit, working as a tutor for Student Accessibility Services... Dartmouth kids do it all, and we do it well.
February’s issue of Cosmopolitan features an article called “Are Food Allergies the New Eating Disorders?” I was disappointed by the article because it paid little attention to the fact that many foods have earned a bad reputation because their effect on health is disputed — not just because they can lead to weight gain.
Improving the College’s printing system, divesting from fossil fuels and extending weekend library hours are among community-generated suggestions gaining attention on Improve Dartmouth, a new student-designed online forum. The website, launched Wednesday, serves as an outlet to suggest, vote on and discuss ideas that could benefit campus.
Upon visiting Dartmouth for the first time, I was overwhelmed by how active the student body seemed. At first, I attributed this phenomenon to Hanover’s location. Our campus is surrounded by mountains, so the school naturally attracts outdoorsy students. After a year of attending Dartmouth, however, I realized that underneath Dartmouth students’ obsession with exercise and healthy eating lurked something much darker. What I hadn’t realized on my first visit is that Dartmouth students’ abnormal athleticism is a result of their skewed views on health and fitness.
Within our increasingly medicalized society, information processing disorders and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder can easily be conflated with Adderall and similar “miracle drugs,” peddled nonchalantly across campus by students who don’t always understand the deep issues behind the disabilities. Due to a culture where legitimate treatment for learning disabilities can be marred by stereotypes of partying or cheating the system to get ahead, students utilizing a variety of accessibility services on Dartmouth’s campus are often misunderstood.
Destiny finished her opiate binge, left the bathroom and returned to her high school class. Her head felt light. She put it down — just for a second. The teacher did not notice. She went to her next class, and then another.
Halloween is over and everybody knows what that means — no, not the start of the holiday season. It’s the start of mustache season. No-Shave November is officially upon us folks, meaning that those partaking in the month of facial hair are now approximately one week into their 30-day quest to grow the best beards and ’staches they possibly can.
While the app is tailored to problems of psychosis, certain functions of the app, such as reminders about taking medication or regulating mood and sleep, can be useful for any sort of illness, Ben-Zeev said. Its content and functionality are tailored to people with schizophrenia and suffering from auditory hallucinations. The app is being developed by the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health, a subset of the Dartmouth Psychiatric Research Center.
Spreading oneself too thin is the natural tendency of many students — it is often what got us here in the first place — but it is also a tendency we should learn to overcome. Many of us share perfectionist tendencies that drive us to settle for no less than excellence in our academic and personal pursuits. Working hard and being involved are certainly admirable goals, but too often students find themselves equally disengaged from all aspects of their busy lives.
The online marketplaces will likely have minimal to no effect on the number of students covered by the DSGHP, said Valerie Lewis, a professor at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice.
The computer science department hosted the eighth annual Dartmouth Computer Science Research Symposium in the basement of Moore Hall on Sept. 21. The symposium exhibited faculty and graduate student research in the form of talks and poster sessions.

Nyaya Health, which draws its name from a Sanskrit word meaning "justice in action," broadens access to medical care in rural Nepal using a model Arnoldy called "global health 2.0." So far, these techniques have been more successful than traditional international aid models in helping hard-to-reach populations, Arnoldy said.
There have recently been a number of positive changes made at Dartmouth to address to the problem of sexual assault.

Soccer, the "most beautiful game," is also the world's most popular sport. That accessibility is part of what makes it beautiful as well all one needs to play is one's body and a ball. The game can be played by anyone, anywhere, from the stadiums of London to Dartmouth's Green and the favelas of Rio de Janeiro.
Representatives from over a dozen colleges and universities met in Boston this week to discuss the progress of the National College Health Improvement Program, an initiative begun by former President Jim Yong Kim in 2011 to reduce high-risk drinking across college campuses.
