In February, wintry weather is unavoidable at Dartmouth — from the freezing temperatures to the snow-filled walkways, the cold is sure to follow wherever you go. While some students respond by hunkering down indoors, students in BIOL 61, “End of Winter: Winter Ecology,” are instead choosing to brave the cold.
On Feb. 16, the Dartmouth Student Government Senate met over Zoom, due to inclement weather, for its sixth weekly meeting of the winter term. Led by student body president Chukwuka Odigbo ’25, senators discussed — and ultimately passed — two amendments to the DSG constitution.
If controversy begets conversation, then on Sunday, the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, La. hosted a performance primed for discussion. The Super Bowl halftime show is meant to appeal to the masses, which is why, for many viewers, Kendrick Lamar’s performance fell short — its dense, politically-charged messaging went against the mainstream audience’s expectations. However, I think the 13-minute set undoubtedly stood as a testament to a storyteller’s showmanship.
On Jan. 31, the Hood Museum of Art welcomed two world-renowned modern art curators, Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath, to Hanover to deliver the 2025 Walter Picard Lecture. The annual talk is part of the Harris German/Dartmouth Distinguished Visiting Professorship Program, an initiative created in 1987 to bring German academics to the College.
In recent weeks, rumors of Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in the Upper Valley have swept through the community — spreading through social media posts, student group chats and word of mouth. The rumors reflect national fears of stricter immigration enforcement under President Donald Trump’s administration and have sparked responses from students and administration alike.

On Jan. 30, government professor Jennifer Lind testified in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in a hearing titled “The Malign Influence of the People’s Republic of China at Home and Abroad: Recommendations for Policy Makers.” During the hearing, Lind, who specializes in United States-China relations, spoke about China’s foreign influence, both malign and mundane. The Dartmouth sat down with Lind to discuss her first time experience testifying in front of the committee and how she believes the United States should use lessons from great power politics — competition between sovereign states with significant economic and military strength — to respond to China’s growing influence on U.S. citizens.
On Jan. 17, “Cara Romero: Panûpünüwügai (Living Light)” opened at the Hood Museum of Art. Curated by curatorial affairs associate director and Hood Indigenous Art curator Jami Powell, the exhibition — a showcase of over 60 photographs spanning more than two decades — marks photographer Cara Romero’s first-ever solo museum exhibition.
Ever dreamed of posting your very own fish picture on Instagram, posing proudly with your catch of the day? Look no further. Since the spring of 2023, the College’s ice and fly fishing classes have provided Dartmouth students with hands-on, unique outdoor adventures.
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.
Leede Arena was buzzing.
As the California wildfires continue to rage, devastating land, homes and livelihoods, newly inaugurated President Donald Trump has announced plans to declare a “national energy emergency.” This would grant him the authority to increase U.S. energy production and, as he puts it, “drill, baby, drill.” To a standing ovation on Inauguration Day, Trump announced sweeping legislation to end the Green New Deal and “electric vehicle mandate” — a mandate that does not actually exist — and to replenish American oil reserves, exporting American energy worldwide.
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.
Let me set the scene: it’s a random Tuesday, and I just managed to find a seat at the hightop counter by the windows in Still North Books & Bar.
On Oct. 1, 2024, Kathryn Bezella started as the dean of undergraduate admissions, a new position focusing specifically on undergraduates. She reports to dean of admissions and financial aid Lee Coffin, who was promoted from vice provost for enrollment to vice president in September 2023. Bezella primarily focuses on admitting undergraduates, while Coffin guides Dartmouth’s broader admissions goals. Prior to joining Dartmouth, Bezella most recently worked as vice dean and director of strategy and innovation for undergraduates at the University of Pennsylvania from 2023 to 2024. During her time as a student at Barnard College, and for several years after, Bezella was heavily involved in opera and performance. The Dartmouth sat down with Bezella to discuss her background in admissions and priorities for undergraduate admissions at the College.
This August, many of us will peruse through the endless aisles of IKEA with our parents, arguing over comforter patterns and pillowcase sizes. In September, we’ll pack up our lives and drive or fly to Hanover, eager to start anew. Yet leaving our homes behind is far more complicated for some of us. For Omar Rashid, an incoming member of the Class of 2029 currently living in Gaza, the journey to Dartmouth is fraught with unimaginable challenges, and his dream of joining our community hangs by a thread.
