Since 1925, Guggenheim Fellowships have been awarded each year to accomplished individuals for the pursuit of a scholarly project in any discipline. This year, three Dartmouth professors were awarded with the fellowship: classics professor Paul Christesen, English and creative writing professor Carolyn Dever and history professor Cecilia Gaposchkin.
As I blew out the waxy rainbow candles of my Lou’s birthday cake two weeks ago, I have to admit that I didn’t feel all that different. I was one year older — and no longer a teenager — but still surrounded by the same friends, in the same dorm room, with the same ideas and aspirations. Being twenty felt … ordinary.
Spring term should be filled with sunshine, lounging out on the Green and occasionally skipping class in favor of mid-day naps and river dips. But with the constant flow of April and May showers, the ever-relentless workload and the overall mental exhaustion that accompanies the end of the school year, sometimes the rest and relaxation promised by spring does not come until much later in the term. Still, activities other than lounging on the Green can provide springtime serenity. One such space is the weekly Monday morning meditation sessions hosted at Rollins Chapel. Held from 8 to 8:45 a.m., these sessions offer a quieter, more intentional kind of calm.
After a bleak winter and the rain of the past week, spring is finally in bloom at Dartmouth. Bright smiles and sunshine light up every corner of campus. But with all the excitement of warmth, it is easy to neglect the unique opportunities that lie just beyond Hanover. While many students may endeavor to hike local trails, paddleboard on the Connecticut River or spikeball on the green, if you are looking to stare nature right in the face this spring while supporting local conservation efforts, I highly recommend visiting the array of avian exhibits featured at the Vermont Institute of Natural Science Nature Center.
I’ve been on for seven consecutive terms in Hanover, surviving solely on the Ivy Unlimited Plan. I’ll admit that I’ve actually come to like most of Dartmouth’s food. But I am off this term and residing at Summit, so I opted out of the meal plan and attempted to cook and sample the Upper Valley’s restaurants.

Tyron Herring ’23 became the next Dartmouth player to make the National Football League after signing with the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent on April 26, 2025. Herring played 18 games for Dartmouth as a cornerback and on special teams, being named to the All-Ivy League Fourth Team after an impressive senior season. After graduating from Dartmouth as a government major, he transferred to the University of Delaware, where he played two years while completing a master in public administration at the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy and Administration. This past season, he was a team captain and an All-CAA Second Team selection. Herring sat down with The Dartmouth to discuss his thoughts on the signing, his time at Dartmouth and Delaware, late coach Buddy Teevens ’79 and his faith.

Despite the recent wave of superhero fatigue that has been whittling audience’s attention spans, Marvel’s “Thunderbolts*” offers a refreshing, thought-provoking take on the stalling genre. Marvel films have been criticized for their lack of depth in recent years, but “Thunderbolts*” aims to set Marvel on a new path. The film handles depression, loneliness and finding one’s place in the world with a candor that surprised me.

Last week, exactly one year after 89 students were arrested during a pro-Palestinian protest on the Green, students once again set up an encampment on College property to call for divestment and other administrative reforms.
The precedent that the College had set up to this point was very clear: an encampment was the red line. For students to take up permanent space on this campus that, we are told, is our “home for four years” was the threshold the administration had set for immediate arrest, first in October 2023, and then again at a much larger scale on May 1, 2024. These were the rules of the game that student protesters accepted going into the Palestine encampment last week.
