On Jan. 17, the Supreme Court upheld a ban on TikTok — a subsidiary of Chinese company ByteDance — that made it illegal for companies in the United States to host the platform after Jan. 19 unless “U.S. operation of the platform is severed from Chinese control,” according to TikTok Inc. v. Garland.
On Jan. 23, members of Dartmouth Student Government met with Dartmouth Dining to discuss the relocation of the campus food pantry — a pantry containing refrigerated foods and non-perishables — from the basement of Dick’s House to Kellogg Hall, located on the ground floor of the Geisel School of Medicine. The pantry was relocated in December following a “fire code issue” of which the College was notified in September, according to School House senator and Dining Advisory Committee member JJ Dega ’26.
On Jan. 22, former Georgia state representative and voting rights activist Stacey Abrams delivered the keynote address for the College’s annual Martin Luther King Jr. celebration. The official theme of this year’s address was “Moral Courage in the Face of Change and Uncertainty.”
On Jan. 19, the Dartmouth Student Government Senate met for its second weekly meeting of the winter term. Led by student body president Chukwuka Odigbo ’25, the Senate continued closed session voting for executive board positions — which began at last week’s meeting — and began discussions about new student life projects.
On Jan. 13, College President Sian Leah Beilock announced the appointment of economics professor Nina Pavcnik as the interim Dean of Arts and Sciences, a position established by the Future of Arts and Sciences project. As interim dean, Pavcnik — who co-led the project’s steering committee with Provost David Kotz — will implement the proposal to combine the currently separate faculty of Arts and Sciences and Division of Student Affairs into a single administrative and budgetary structure. The Board of Trustees unanimously voted to approve the plan on Nov. 8, 2024, after it passed an advisory vote among the faculty of Arts and Sciences in October 2024. Pavcnik will serve as interim dean until the permanent dean is appointed through an external search — a process that will start in the fall of 2025, she said. The Dartmouth sat down with Pavcnik to discuss her work so far with the Future of Arts and Sciences project, the experience she brings to the interim dean role and her next steps in the position.
I started this winter clutching my steering wheel on the drive up from Boston.
Sometimes, just as it did this past Sunday night, the snow falls peacefully onto the ground, coating it with a soft, untouched layer of powder. I’ve always thought that if perfection could be embodied, it would take on the form of freshly fallen snow. Like the snow conceals the ground beneath, perfectionism is all-enveloping — a blanket that covers one’s less-than-perfect clutter and mess.
Let me set the scene: it’s a random Tuesday, and I just managed to find a seat at the hightop counter by the windows in Still North Books & Bar.
Enter the sauna in the Alumni Gymnasium men’s locker room, and you’ll see a gaggle of Dartmouth students braving the winter months. Some may enter following a strenuous workout, while others may be desperately trying to sweat out a hangover. Others may be waiting outside the sauna door, unsure whether to enter — after all, the saunas can be intimidating for newcomers who are unaware of the culture and expectations within. Since the start of the term, I have been conducting a thorough cultural exploration of the men’s sauna. I hope this resulting guide will ease any fears about entering it.
After a busy week of classes and extracurriculars, few students may think to cook an elaborate meal on a Friday night. Yet, every Friday, around 5 to 10 Dartmouth students gather in Our Savior Lutheran Church to cook and serve a buffet-style dinner — ranging from tacos to pancakes and bacon — to the Upper Valley community.
On Jan. 16, the Dartmouth Political Union hosted a debate on political philosophy between academic and former presidential candidate Cornel West and Princeton University professor of jurisprudence Robert George. West and George, who have respectively been described by The New York Times as a “left-wing public intellectual” and “one of the country’s most influential conservative Christian thinkers,” debated the merits of “capitalism versus democratic socialism,” according to DPU president Malcolm Mahoney ’26.
On Jan. 10, 2024, College President Sian Leah Beilock launched Dartmouth Dialogues, a program designed to “facilitate conversations and skills bridging political and personal divides,” according to past coverage by The Dartmouth. The initiative has included several speaker series, a partnership with StoryCorps One Small Step — a nonprofit dedicated to organizing conversations with individuals across the political spectrum — and the Dialogue Project, a skill-building initiative designed to “foster empathy, active listening and collective responsibility,” according to past coverage.
Though elections may be periods of confusion and uncertainty for the average voter, many social scientists see them as opportunities for research and data collection — including Carson Goh ’25, a government and quantitative social science double major. On Nov. 25, Goh won the Wilson Carey McWilliams award for best undergraduate research paper at the annual New England Political Science Conference in Newport, R.I. Goh’s paper, titled “Competition or Representation? How the Public Views Substantive and Descriptive Effects of Independent Redistricting Commissions,” explores how minorities are represented in elections. His research found support for independent redistricting commissions decreases when they are presented as threats to majority-minority districts — those where racial or ethnic minority populations form a district’s largest voting bloc. The Dartmouth sat down with Goh to discuss his background, research and plans after his upcoming graduation this spring.
This week, the Supreme Court may rule on the constitutionality of the Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, a bipartisan bill that will ban TikTok in the United States if the company is not sold by Jan. 19. Once in effect, TikTok — a subsidiary of Chinese-based parent company, ByteDance — will be removed from app stores, while users in the United States will no longer be able to update the app, CNN reported.
Men’s hockey ended its three-game losing streak, defeating Brown University 5-2 on Saturday. The day prior, the Big Green lost to Yale University 3-2 as the Bulldogs scored the winning goal with less than five seconds left in the game.
The Dartmouth equestrian team is galloping into the spotlight after an undefeated fall season that has vaulted them to the number-one spot in the Eastern College Athletic Conference. Since its transition in 2021 from the Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association to the more competitive ECAC — a single-discipline league for English riding on the East Coast — the team has shown tremendous growth and determination.
Extreme weather is on the rise across the United States, according to a Jan. 10 report by NASA. Last year was the hottest ever on record, and in the first weeks of 2025, environmental crises — such as the Southern California wildfires — have continued record-breaking trends. For many Dartmouth students, these crises thousands of miles away are in fact close to home.
The Lebanon District Court has found Kevin Engel ’27 and Roan Wade ’25 — two student protesters arrested in the fall of 2023 — guilty of one count of misdemeanor criminal trespass each. The two were arrested on the Parkhurst Hall lawn on Oct. 28, 2023, after setting up an encampment to protest Dartmouth’s investment in organizations “complicit with apartheid and its apparatuses,” among other aims listed in the Dartmouth New Deal.
On Jan. 14, the Political Economy Project — a professor-led interdisciplinary project that hosts talks on economics, politics and philosophy — hosted government professor William Wohlforth for an event titled “Great Power Subversion.”
