The “Dartmouth Bubble” is real. Although it’s impossible to say what exactly causes it, I think geographic isolation and rigorous courses of study often prevent students from engaging with the world beyond our campus. Right now though, things are different. It feels like the world is coming to Dartmouth in a way that it almost never does, frantically waving its arms and begging us to notice.
Last December, Omar Rashid ’29 was accepted to Dartmouth through the early decision process as a member of the Class of 2029. Rashid lives in the Gaza Strip with his mother and two brothers. Since May 2024, both exit points from Gaza — the Rafah crossing into Egypt and the Kerem Shalom crossing into Israel — have been closed. As a result, he may not be able to travel to Dartmouth for the upcoming academic year.
On April 16, the Rockefeller Center for Public Policy hosted former United States representatives Annie Kuster ’78, D-N.H. and Alex Mooney ’93, R-W.Va, to speak about how Congress can operate more effectively during an era of political polarization.

Trail Break, a Mexican restaurant previously located in White River Junction, Vt., will open its new location in Quechee, Vt., for its first full season in mid-May, according to Trail Break owner Topher Lyons. The previous physical location closed in December 2023, after its lease expired, although the restaurant continued to run its taco trucks and catering services and opened the Quechee location for a partial season in July 2024.
President Donald Trump has signed a series of executive orders freezing medical federal research funding across the nation. While many of these orders have been delayed by federal courts, researchers at both the Geisel School of Medicine and Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center have seen the early impacts of funding freezes, according to Northern New England Co-Op Practice and Community Based Research Network executive director Meagan Stabler.
Earlier today, the College presented its final contract offer to the Student Workers Collective at Dartmouth — the student worker union that has been in negotiation with the College.
Over the past decade, there has been a 16.2% decrease in the social sciences at Dartmouth, and a staggering 25.8% increase in STEM fields. The Dartmouth reviewed a decade of data from the College on the composition of each graduating class, from the Class of 2014 to the Class of 2024.
On April 15, the Dickey Center for International Understanding hosted Sudanese activist Rania Aziz for an event titled “Sudan’s difficult path to peace and democracy: an activist’s perspective.” Aziz discussed political conflict in Sudan, her role in the 2019 Sudanese protests and work as an activist away from her home country.
Many top universities are navigating how to respond to the Trump administration’s threats to cut federal funding. Earlier this week, Harvard chose not to comply with the government’s demands, while a month ago, Columbia coalesced, agreeing to alter the university’s student protest policies, hire new campus security officers and appoint a new senior vice provost to Columbia’s Middle East, South Asian and African Studies department.
It’s no secret that certain hiring pipelines dominate Dartmouth’s campus: according to the 2023 Cap and Gown Survey, an annual College-run evaluation of where graduates plan to work, 46% of Dartmouth graduates were working in either “finance” or “business and management consulting.” We’ve all felt it. Frantic chatter about “recruitment” swallows our campus whole, becoming an inescapable topic of conversation and a widespread aspect of identity on campus.
The Ph.D. was once one route among many for the life of the mind — now it is the route. A multiplicity of intellectual paths have over time flattened into one, and that path leads straight through graduate school. But the professionalized academic is not necessarily the best teacher. Here at Dartmouth, we must change our Society of Fellows to align with more diverse intellectual paths. The Society of Fellows should cease to be a postdoctoral program and instead look for a diversity of intellectual backgrounds.
Ramsey Alsheikh ’26 has a dream.
Four international undergraduate students have been given the pseudonyms Zoey, May, Catherine and Sarah. They each have been granted anonymity to speak candidly about their experiences.
Harvard Medical School professor Jim O’Connell said the Trump administration’s federal funding cuts to diversity programs might threaten his nonprofit work to support the unhoused. The Nathan Smith Society, a student-run organization that supports students interested in health professions, and the Offices of the President and Chief Health Officer, hosted the professor for a talk on April 15.
On April 15, a Dartmouth student was arrested and charged with a felony and three misdemeanors for driving the wrong way on Interstate 89 while drunk.
From Alice Lloyd ’27 in Buenos Aires, Argentina
The road to my house from the airport is long and straight. The graveyard of oil wells gives me my first sign of relief. The ugliness of the city comforts me, and I slip into my familiar anger, the specific tone of which changes depending on what neighborhood I’m in. I wish I could be airdropped into my house this time, so I wouldn’t have to drive down this street. It is the causeway for goodbyes, for dropping friends off at the airport and hoping they’ll come visit again soon. Except this time, I am the visitor, and I am the only one to pick myself up from the airport.
Dartmouth’s athletics program is among the College’s biggest selling points, bringing together students, alumni and Hanover community members for games and matches year-round. 75% of Dartmouth students are involved in sports, creating a vibrant sports culture on campus. It’s no surprise that the NCAA Division 1 men’s and women’s basketball tournaments — commonly known as “March Madness”— are followed closely by Dartmouth students during the spring term.
