Happy Week 1 Mirror! It’s Aditi!
Since the United States and Israel launched a series of aerial attacks on Iran on Feb. 28, the conflict has expanded to Lebanon and other countries in the Middle East and impacted the global economy. The initial strikes resulted in the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and prompted retaliatory strikes across the Middle East and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, spiking global oil prices. As of March 30, at least 13 American service members have also been killed.
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.
Tuk Tuk Thai Cuisine, Hanover’s underground Thai restaurant, will relocate from 5 South Main Street to 44 South Main Street after Commencement.
On Friday morning, I received an email announcement for an upcoming installation at the Hopkins Center for the Arts: “Think you know AI? Meet Being.” The email and the Hopkins Center’s website with information about the event was filled with a cascading series of cringe-inducing red flags. The exhibition features a “virtual entity” trained on “anti-racist frameworks, Black queer poetry and vogue dancing” to get viewers “moving, thinking and collectively envisioning the future.” I didn’t even know where to start, other than to say “what the actual fuck” and file away another reason that the Luddites were onto something.
“Don’t bother using AI — I’ll catch it” is a sentence I’m sure you’ve heard from your professors at some point in high school and college. It’s bullshit.
Last month, New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte announced in her annual “State of the State” address that she is directing the state’s department of energy to bring the state to the “forefront” of nuclear energy technology.
The Native American House will close for renovations from Commencement this year until next summer, according to Native American Program director Adria Brown ’15. Renovations will expand the house and add additional bedrooms and bathrooms, according to Brown.
I recently wrote a piece where I criticized the political rhetoric of “dialogue” as perpetuating the status quo. The piece, ironically enough, did end up generating some dialogue on campus, and I’ve since heard many different takes on my argument from my friends, some positive and some negative. In these conversations, I’ve come to realize that my original piece did not paint the full picture — that not only is “dialogue” more often than not a means of maintaining the status quo, but that it is also a way to push it in a particular political direction.
Last December, Dartmouth announced an institution-wide partnership with the artificial intelligence company Anthropic. While Dartmouth’s agreement with Anthropic has been under scrutiny by students and several faculty members over copyright infringement, a more pressing concern is Anthropic’s relationship with the Pentagon.
Yesterday was my final night as opinion editor for The Dartmouth. For the better part of two years, I’ve had the opportunity of working with incredibly talented editors, writers and student journalists, and I leave with nothing but appreciation for the tremendous work student journalists have done on our campus and beyond.
At a Rockefeller Center for Public Policy event last weekend, Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said, “We have seen too much cowardice from private sector business leaders in America at a time where we need more courage of people speaking out for moral clarity.” Dartmouth’s president and trustees could have learned from these words had they been in attendance.
In a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Feb. 17, College officials unveiled Sugarwood Circle, a 21-unit development for benefits-eligible staff and faculty in West Lebanon.
As the U.S. war with Iran intensifies, student veterans at Dartmouth say the conflict feels both familiar and unsettling. For many students on campus, the fighting unfolds through headlines and government class discussions. But for those who once served in the military, some of whom were deployed in the Middle East, the war carries memories of their time in service, concerns for friends still serving and questions about whether the region is once again entering prolonged instability.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear called for a “pragmatic” style of politics that focuses on results rather than inaction in a visit to Dartmouth on March 7. Beshear criticized the characterization of issues as “partisan” or “bipartisan,” instead calling on politicians to focus on “nonpartisan” issues, such as housing and healthcare.
Although the Literary Arts Bridge, tucked away in downtown Hanover, only officially opened in November, students are embracing the colorful offices as a hub for creative writing.
The Dartmouth College Wind Ensemble, the student resident ensemble at the Hopkins Center for the Arts, premiered original compositions by the winners of the Arturo Márquez Composition Competition on Feb. 13 with the Concord-Carlisle High School’s Frontiers Ensemble. The performance of the contemporary Mexican score “Flor Violeta: Concertino for Harp and Wind Ensemble” by Omar Arellano Osorio featured guest Greta Richardson ’26 on the harp.
In its opening scene, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “The Bride!” announces itself as a major artistic swing and adaptation of the Frankenstein story. Stuck in some sort of purgatory, a disembodied Mary Shelley (Jessie Buckley) reveals she was never able to finish the story of her seminal novel “Frankenstein” before her death, and declares her intention to complete it by possessing the body of a woman in 1930s Chicago named Ida (also Buckley).
The College is requiring Dartmouth Libraries to cut its budget over the next two fiscal years, according to emails sent by dean of libraries Susanne Mehrer to library staff and obtained and reviewed by The Dartmouth. While a Dec. 1 email from Mehrer stated the required cuts totaled $2,614,000, Mehrer wrote in a March 5 email that the “FY27–FY28 budget planning figure is $1 million lower” than the initial $2.6 million cut.
The vast majority of the Class of 2025 have gone on to full-time employment, part-time employment or an internship, according to Center for Career Design data shared with The Dartmouth. The percentage of students who have placed into some form of employment is up 14% from last year, according to the data.
