Tyron Herring ’23 says he owes his NFL deal to Buddy Teevens ’79

Tyron Herring ’23 became the next Dartmouth player to make the National Football League after signing with the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent on April 26, 2025.  Herring played 18 games for Dartmouth as a cornerback and on special teams, being named to the All-Ivy League Fourth Team after an impressive senior season.  After graduating from Dartmouth as a government major, he transferred to the University of Delaware, where he played two years while completing a master in public administration at the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy and Administration. This past season, he was a team captain and an All-CAA Second Team selection. Herring sat down with The Dartmouth to discuss his thoughts on the signing, his time at Dartmouth and Delaware, late coach Buddy Teevens ’79 and his faith.

Breaking the Marvel Mold: ‘Thunderbolts*’ Shows a Different Side of Marvel

Despite the recent wave of superhero fatigue that has been whittling audience’s attention spans, Marvel’s “Thunderbolts*” offers a refreshing, thought-provoking take on the stalling genre. Marvel films have been criticized for their lack of depth in recent years, but “Thunderbolts*” aims to set Marvel on a new path. The film handles depression, loneliness and finding one’s place in the world with a candor that surprised me.

Verbum Ultimum: May 1 Was Better the Second Time Around

Last week, exactly one year after 89 students were arrested during a pro-Palestinian protest on the Green, students once again set up an encampment on College property to call for divestment and other administrative reforms. 

Alsheikh: Students Called the Administration’s Bluff

The precedent that the College had set up to this point was very clear: an encampment was the red line. For students to take up permanent space on this campus that, we are told, is our “home for four years” was the threshold the administration had set for immediate arrest, first in October 2023, and then again at a much larger scale on May 1, 2024. These were the rules of the game that student protesters accepted going into the Palestine encampment last week. 

Moyse: SWCD Must Focus its Message

Recently, the Student Workers Collective at Dartmouth has been one of the most prominent activist groups on campus. From the encampment in front of Parkhurst last week to recent rallies on the Collis Patio, they have taken stances on contract negotiations and the Israel-Palestine conflict. Although I think that a combination of pressing social issues can often be powerful and effective tools to help raise awareness, there is a time and place for them. In the case of SWCD, the fusion of being pro-Palestinian and fighting for higher wages for dining workers  wrongly compares the struggle of Dartmouth students with those suffering in Gaza, intentionally or not. 

Jewish student groups hold vigil for fallen soldiers and victims of terror

Hillel at Dartmouth and the Rohr Chabad Center at Dartmouth held a vigil on the Green last week to commemorate Yom HaZikaron, Israel’s remembrance day for fallen soldiers and victims of terror. Earlier in the day on April 30, community members placed 1,200 Israeli flags in front of Dartmouth Hall to represent the nearly 1,200 individuals killed during the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel.

Professors explore if Zionism is settler colonialism

Last week, Harvard University Jewish studies professor Derek Penslar and Hebrew University sociology and anthropology professor and former human rights lawyer Yael Berda discussed “settler colonialism” — and whether the academic term can be used to describe Zionism.

Parrish-Penny: Kluger’s Cynicism is Misguided

Elan Kluger 26’s op-ed reveals his own myopic, naive misunderstanding of the relationship between work and purpose. Kluger misconstrues criticism leveled against aspiring financiers or consultants as defensiveness masking latent “careerism.” It’s a pity you’re a cynic, Kluger. Because you’re wrong: Some people are motivated by passion.
