Inside the Harold Edward Cable Makerspace, ideas rarely stay on paper for long. A 3D printer hums as it builds a plastic figure layer by layer, while a laser cutter traces precise lines through a sheet of material. Around the room, students experiment with tools and materials, turning designs into tangible creations.
On Sept. 22, the College’s Ad Hoc Committee on Grading Practices and Assessment emailed a survey on grading policy to every undergraduate student who has completed at least one course at Dartmouth. The survey, which closes on Oct. 23, will be used by the committee to inform a winter report on grading and assessment policy, according to committee co-chair and anthropology professor Zaneta Thayer and committee member and government professor Jeffrey Friedman.
Dartmouth is at a crossroads. Recent reports in Semafor and The Dartmouth have indicated that a top official at our institution, Provost Santiago Schnell, may have produced a number of AI-generated publications, including a Washington Post guest column titled “Universities are fighting AI cheating, but there’s a deeper problem.”
In 2016, Barack Obama said of the grueling process of policymaking that his job was to “steer the ocean liner two degrees north or south so that 10 years from now we’re in a very different place from where we were.” New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani might not be steering an entire ocean liner. But he’s no doubt captaining a hefty cruiser, and, far from steering one degree at a time, he seems to be taking it wherever he pleases, without having to wait.
On Sept. 27, the Dartmouth Student Government Senate met for its first weekly meeting of the fall term. Led by student body president Ikenna Nwafor ’27, the Senate discussed The Dartmouth’s investigation of Provost Santiago Schnell’s use of artificial intelligence in recent published works and College President Sian Leah Beilock’s Sept. 25 announcement of an independent advisory committee into that AI use. The Senate also heard updates on vending machine policies, as well as a proposal for a “First-Year Guide” for incoming students.
On Aug. 28, the Dartmouth Association of Latino/a/x/e and Caribbean Alumni’s board sent an open letter to the Classes of 1964 and 2014 opposing the recognition of College President Sian Leah Beilock for reinstating standardized testing in admissions. She had been selected for the 1964/2014 James Wright ’64 Outstanding Leadership Award by a joint awards selection committee of the classes of 1964 and 2014 in August.
At an event hosted jointly by the Rockefeller Center for Public Policy and the Dickey Center for International Understanding on Sept. 24, former Department of Justice acting solicitor general Neal Katyal ’91 said that Supreme Court debates represent “American democracy at its best,” even with a current conservative majority. The event also featured creator and showrunner of Netflix series “The Diplomat” Deborah Cahn, who met with Katyal to discuss her series, diplomacy and the importance of dissent.
Five freshmen joined Dartmouth field hockey this fall, arriving in Hanover from four different countries and bringing with them international experiences, varied academic interests and years of competition on the field. Two of the newcomers have previously represented their countries on the world stage, while all five of them are experiencing Dartmouth and Division I field hockey for the first time.

Ahead of his final year in a Big Green uniform, quarterback Grayson Saunier ’27 spent four days over the summer at the Manning Passing Academy, an annual workshop for middle school and high school quarterbacks looking to improve their game.
For those in the film industry and passionate moviegoers, Labor Day weekend signifies more than barbecues and the banks closing. It is also the time of the annual Telluride Film Festival, a prestigious affair that provides audiences a preview of the standout performances and scripts that will soon dominate both awards season and the cultural zeitgeist. This year, Jesse Eisenberg’s “The Debut,” a delightfully wacky exploration of community theatre and one woman’s psyche starring Julianne Moore, has emerged as the darling of the Festival. The film is a vessel for precisely calibrated performances that manages to be light-hearted but deeply affecting.
For 20 years, the Metropolitan Opera’s “Live in HD” series has transmitted performances from the Met’s stage to cinemas around the world. Dartmouth’s Loew Auditorium screened “Twenty Years of the Met in Cinemas: An Anniversary Celebration” on Saturday as part of its Met Opera in HD programming. Hosted by soprano Renée Fleming, the anniversary film commemorates that history through a compilation of performances from the company’s extensive archive. Rather than functioning as a traditional documentary, the film is closer to a curated album of operatic moments: a collection of voices, faces, sets and performances that demonstrates both the power and the limitations of experiencing opera on screen.

The plaintiffs alleged that the College failed to protect the personal information, including Social Security numbers and bank account numbers, of more than 96,000 people.
In an email to campus today, College President Sian Leah Beilock wrote that she is initiating a “rigorous, objective review” of College Provost Santiago Schnell’s use of artificial intelligence in his “academic publications and public writing.” Her announcement follows reporting by The Dartmouth earlier this week, which showed that several of Schnell’s recent publications, including op-eds and academic articles, were flagged as “AI-written” by AI detector Pangram.
