Here’s a look back at the headlines that shaped this historic and unconventional year.
Alan Green, former chair of the department of psychiatry at the Geisel School of Medicine, died on Thursday.
Dartmouth students have great affection for our libraries — take our interactions with the Dartmouth Library Instagram account. When I was a freshman, my First-Year Trip leaders showed me which parts of Baker-Berry were social and which were designated for intense studying. Although different spaces within the library function in different ways, the library as a whole feels like home to many students.

As we approach Halloween here at Dartmouth, there’s a heightened level of fear across the student body. This fear, however, is not caused by your typical horror film or haunted house. Rather, it is the result of a steady stream of unknowns, distrust and paranoia surrounding one of the most concerning trends of fall term: students being forced to leave campus for the remainder of the academic year due to COVID-19 policy violations.
This winter, students will once again have few opportunities for on-campus instruction, with about 1% of course section offerings available fully in person.
