Re: ‘We’re not a political organization,’ Beilock tells matriculating students
In conversations with friends, I recently discovered that the four-way intersection at East Wheelock and South Main Street is an infrequently discussed yet polarizing part of campus life. It’s not the intersection on its own, but specifically how the traffic lights work — some people love it, some people hate it and most everyone can’t understand why someone would feel differently than they do about it.
In August, professor of English and creative writing Peter Orner published a new historical fiction novel, “The Gossip Columnist’s Daughter.” The story follows Jed Rosenthal, a struggling writer who grows obsessed with the murder of starlet Karyn Kupcinet — a real-life incident. Combining historical fact and fictional characters, Orner creates what The New York Times called “a moody and engrossing meditation on the ephemerality of memory, the persistence of family myths and a haunting ode to a bygone Chicago.” On Nov. 4, the new creative writing campus space Literary Arts Bridge will be hosting a reading and conversation about the novel with Orner and the cartoonist Liniers. The Dartmouth sat down with Orner to discuss his inspiration and writing process for the novel.
Undergraduate advisors will no longer distribute contraceptives three times a week in dorm halls. They will still receive a weekly stipend of condoms and lubricant, although the amount will be limited, according to UGAs.
Since its first screening at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where it took home awards for Best Actor and Best Director, Kleber Mendonça’s “The Secret Agent” has been making waves on the festival circuit. Featured in this year’s Telluride at Dartmouth lineup, the film was screened in Spaulding Auditorium on Sept. 20.
The newly renovated Courtyard Cafe is set to reopen on Oct. 17, with a return to face-to-face ordering alongside additional seating.
On Sept. 3, former U.S. Sen. John E. Sununu posted a cryptic tweet on his unverified, obscure X page: “Don’t call it a comeback…” The post linked to a Politico article reporting that the former senator is weighing a run for Senate in the upcoming midterm elections. Could Sununu, a member of a powerful New Hampshire political family, be tacitly confirming his intention to run? Although his gambit for the Senate seat may seem out of the blue, he might just be the best candidate for the job if he positions himself as a firmly anti-Trump Republican.
Today, Charlie Kirk was supposed to be here at Dartmouth.
Economics professor Robert Staiger will serve as the World Trade Organization’s chief economist and director of the economics research and statistics division for a two-year term. In this role, he will advise the WTO on trade policy, oversee research and data, publish key reports and represent the organization in global economic debates. The Dartmouth sat down with Staiger to discuss his appointment, his priorities for his tenure and his thoughts on the changing global trade environment.
On Aug. 15, the National Institute of Health awarded the Geisel School of Medicine a $12 million grant to open the Dartmouth Center for Implementation Science, a new research center on campus that will bridge research findings and the implementation of healthcare policy, according to center director Jeremiah Brown.
History professor Udi Greenberg presented his new book “The End of the Schism” yesterday at the Rockefeller Center. The Dartmouth sat down with Professor Greenberg to discuss his book, which was released by the Harvard Press in April. In the book, he explores the reconciliation of Catholic and Protestant Christians in the 20th century over anxieties about feminism and socialism and its implications on modern European politics.
Shonda Rhimes ’91, the entertainment mogul and Dartmouth trustee, has pledged $15 million dollars to Dartmouth to build an undergraduate residence hall. The Shonda Rhimes Hall, to be opened in the fall of 2028, will be the first Dartmouth building named after a woman or a Black person.
Re: Weeks before planned Dartmouth visit, Kirk assasination reverberates around campus
With the changing of the leaves typically comes an abundance of “leaf-peeping” tourists to the Upper Valley, typically one of the busiest times of the year for local businesses. While pleasant weather and earlier-than-expected fall foliage has brought visitors to the Upper Valley, one major group — Canadians — are notably visiting in significantly fewer numbers than usual, leading to a drop in overall tourism.
I hate driving, but Hanover makes me crave the peace of life behind the wheel. I spent interim chauffeuring my little sister to and from middle school. I listened to her chatter while methodically navigating the pothole-ridden roads of Connecticut suburbia, dodging protruding mailboxes and the high school track team and women in their 60s walking dogs too close to the middle of the road. The rides were amusing; I had forgotten how uniquely excruciating life as a seventh-grade girl is.
Dear Freak of the Week,
I began my final year at Dartmouth the same way I began my first: with the more strenuous hiking First Year Trip. In previous years, the weeks before trips had me brimming with excitement, putting on the ‘Medley,’ casually dancing along to “Shower” and “Blame it on the Boogie” as I meandered through my days. Although I was just as excited this year, that excitement was now laced with a quiet dread I couldn’t quite shake. This time, I was painfully aware of the finality of it all. This would be my last safety talk, my last batch of Annie’s Mac on the Trangia, my last Lodj Croo dinner and my last group of new trippees. This was my last First Year Trip, and I couldn’t escape the thought that I might never experience anything like it again.
