Dartmouth recently instituted a new software for course selection and registration called Courses@Dartmouth. We asked The Dartmouth’s Opinion writers how they felt after using it for the first time to register for courses earlier this term.
In a recent opinion article in these pages, Unai Montes-Irueste ’98 wrote that “Dartmouth’s sixth President Nathan Lord was an abolitionist and admitted Black students to Dartmouth before the Civil War.”
Over a year ago, I wrote a column arguing that many of Dartmouth’s recent buildings do not respect the campus’ historical fabric. Newer additions, as I stated, are often architecturally lazy, trying to find a middle ground between appearing modern and fitting in with the Georgian red-brick theme of the College’s older buildings. This results in an unsatisfying appearance that achieves neither goal. Since that piece, multiple new campus projects have either begun construction or neared completion, including the West Wheelock residences and the renovation of the Fayerweather Halls. Rather than improving upon past additions, however, these projects continue the trend of poorly thought-out modernism. More so, they say something about the College’s shaky relationship with its own historical aesthetic.
In March, distinguished fellow Ezzedine Fishere published the English translation of his 2017 Arabic-language novel “Nightfall in Cairo.” Fishere worked with editor Sharidan Russell ’18 on the release, which was published by Commonsense House.
A Barbie doll with her fingers crossed behind her back. A small truck with a flat tire. These are some of the toy ideas of Alejandro (Julio Torres), a young man who aspires to become the world’s most famous toy designer. To achieve his dream, he must overcome a big obstacle: his precarious immigration status. Born in El Salvador, Alejandro needs visa sponsorship to continue living in New York City, but few companies are willing to hire a foreign-born worker. “Problemista” follows his effort to navigate a complicated immigration system while pursuing his lifelong dream.
As part of The Dartmouth’s coverage of the upcoming 2026 midterm and gubernatorial elections, the paper is publishing an interview series, “A Sit-Down with The Dartmouth,” featuring in-depth conversations with candidates for state-wide and New Hampshire district positions.
With the rapid rise and development of artificial intelligence technology, the College is now offering several new courses on AI across the School of Arts and Sciences and graduate schools, according to Dartmouth News. The courses, which span a variety of degree programs and fields, center around the application and use of AI in organizational decision-making, data analysis and engineering.
Recently, deep into a mindless scroll of X, a supposed entertainment news post caught my eye. It claimed that Disney is remastering Orson Welles’s seminal 1941 film “Citizen Kane” in 4K, “updating it for modern audiences with meaningful additions such as credit scores and transition lenses.”
“I think it’s really time for the country to get on to something else,” President Donald Trump asserted two months ago in response to questions about the new batch of Epstein files. Despite Trump’s usual success in diversion, he can’t seem to shake the looming shadow of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
On March 10, Lebanon residents voted to lease land in West Lebanon owned by the Lebanon School District to the Boys and Girls Club of Central and Northern New Hampshire for a new child care facility, with 1586 votes in favor and 449 against. The exact schedule of construction is unknown.
On April 4, the Dartmouth Organization of Rural Students hosted the Rurality in Higher Education conference, featuring a keynote address by Bates College education professor Mara Tieken ’01, author of “Educated Out: How Rural Students Navigate Elite Colleges and What it Costs Them.” The conference also featured an education policy panel, breakout workshops and exploration of the Upper Valley.
This morning, Dartmouth Student Government and the Student and Presidential Committee on Sexual Assault called on the Board of Trustees and College leadership to rename the Black Family Visual Arts Center. The SPCSA is an “intermediary between students and the larger Dartmouth College community” whose tasks include planning and implementing “cross-campus initiatives to address sexual violence.”
Dearest fine readers of Mirror,
As the Class of 2026’s graduation approaches, many are surely reckoning with those last few bucket list items that remain unchecked. Whether they hope to finally perform karaoke at Sawtooth, to tackle the Lou's challenge or to go to their first Friday afternoon class, time is running out. Careful planning is necessary to ensure a satisfying climax to the Dartmouth experience.
One of my favorite things about living in an off-campus apartment is that I have the option to cook and eat whenever I want. My roommates would probably make fun of me for saying this, given that I have cooked exactly one meal this year. However, if you count pouring my bottled iced coffee into a cup and sprinkling granola into my individual yogurt containers, then I have made many more meals than my roommates would give me credit for. I enjoy being able to walk to the kitchen in my pajamas in the morning and grab a cup of coffee and a yogurt to eat and drink leisurely as I get ready for the day. This routine emulates the sense of separation between home and school that I lost when I moved away for college.
Dear Freak of the Week,
This weekend, I finally decorated my room. I’d put it off for too long; only a knee injury and being trapped in my small corner of campus forced me to finally address my blank walls. I ended up perched on my bed, leg locked and crutches just within reach, trying to press photos into the corners of my walls. I used the wrong kind of tape, though, so the edges of my photos keep peeling up, stubborn and suspended in air. Every day, my half-stuck photos wait for me to get back from class, daring my hands to smooth them back down.
At the Dartmouth Student Government’s first weekly meeting of spring term, School House senator Oscar Rempe-Hiam ’29 solicited feedback on a statement he drafted urging Dartmouth to rename the Black Family Visual Arts Center. BVAC was funded by a $78 million donation from Leon Black ’73, who maintained a longstanding relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Over the last few weeks, I have been working on a personal project in which I try to draft a list of things that AI cannot replace with ease — a humanity conservation project, if you will. Of all the items on that rather short list, poetry both excites and worries me the most. In an age where poetry is consumed primarily through short-form content of nature with yellow serif font, and the average attention span of a college student is shorter than most printed poems, we are indeed in a heap of trouble. I was even more alarmed when I saw the latest installation at the Hopkins Center for the Arts: Being, a 30-foot-tall humanoid artificial intelligence that “represents a Griot — a West African storyteller, poet and oral historian,” according to the Hopkins Center’s website.
