On June 8, Dartmouth Engineering hosted OpenAI Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati Th’12 for a conversation about generative artificial intelligence and the future of the technology.
It’s probably odd to read a piece about the Dartmouth Pine in 2024, already six years after the new logo was introduced to give Dartmouth a standardized “visual identity.” Bear with us: we think that the issue of the D-Pine and the seal is central to Dartmouth’s identity and the future of the institution. We argue that Dartmouth must formulate a version of its historic seal that can stand honorably and ethically next to the shields and crests of the Ivy League, instead of a corporate mask which degrades the history of our institution and masks its injustices.
On June 28, the United States Collegiate Ski Coaches Association named John Steel Hagenbuch ’25 the Men’s Nordic National Skier of the Year. This past season, Hagenbuch placed 13th at the World Cup, never lost a collegiate race, won the 7.5K freestyle and placed fifth in the men’s 20K classic at the NCAA Championships, winning All-American honors. The Dartmouth sat down with Hagenbuch to discuss his background in the sport, recent successes and what Dartmouth skiing has meant to him.
In 2021, at a banquet celebrating former Dartmouth athletics director and women’s lacrosse coach Josie Harper, Mary Page Michel ’87 asked former lacrosse players to stand if they coached or taught lacrosse after graduating. Michel — who played under Harper from 1983 to 1987 — said virtually everyone stood.
Sophomore summer marks a time of change for student bands. The Class of 2024 has graduated, while most of the Classes of 2025 and 2027 are off campus — leaving the sophomores to find replacements, operate without a member or two or take a pause altogether. Some sophomores have even used newfound free time to found a band, like Kabir Mehra ’26, who started the indie rock band Day Drooler.
A mystery of identity, family and a river keep the reader rapt throughout Morgan Talty ’16’s debut novel, “Fire Exit.”
Director of cult favorites “The Favorite” and “Poor Things,” Yorgos Lanthimos’s “Kinds of Kindness” is a cruel contemplation on the painful sacrifices we make to get what we want. The film asks: Are we controlled by our desires? And how much control do we give to those who hold the key?
The College has suspended Beta Alpha Omega fraternity and Alpha Phi sorority following the death of Won Jang ’26, College spokesperson Jana Barnello wrote in an email statement to The Dartmouth.

Authorities recovered Jang’s body from the Connecticut River on July 7.
Won Jang ’26, an undergraduate student from Middletown, Del., was found dead on July 7 “after a search involving state and local emergency responders,” Dean of the College Scott Brown wrote in an email to campus.

I, like many other students, spent my Thursday night on June 27 watching the debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. Unsurprisingly, the debate was labeled a disaster by many mainstream news sources. People called for Biden to step down, while others labeled Trump as a threat to our democracy. However, my overarching question was, “How did we get here?”
College President Sian Leah Beilock wrote in her apology to the Dartmouth community after 89 people were arrested on May 1 that she had no choice but to “ask the Hanover Police Department for help taking down the encampment” in order to “put the safety and wellbeing of students first.” Yet, by comparing the current administration’s militarized response to student encampments with that of previous administrations, it is evident that Beilock’s suppression of protest is unprecedented and dangerous.
On July 2, the Lebanon District Court held a hearing for Roan Wade ’25 and Kevin Engel ’27, two student protesters arrested on misdemeanor criminal trespass charges in October. Wade and Engel filed a motion for the College to drop their charges on May 10, according to Engel.
This summer, students can rent canoes, kayaks and paddleboards for free at Ledyard Canoe Club, according to Outdoor Engagement Committee member and economics professor Bruce Sacerdote ’90. The Dartmouth Wellness Office and Outdoor Engagement Committee are subsidizing the cost as part of an effort to make outdoor activities more accessible, he wrote in an email statement to The Dartmouth.
Devon Kurtz ’20 first became interested in prison volunteerism and prison reform while studying at Dartmouth. After graduating, he started a Quaker ministry at the Southern State Correctional Facility in Springfield, Vt., a state prison and jail for the Vermont side of the Upper Valley. His book, Sketches from Behind Prison Walls, is the result of a collaboration with Rein Kolts, an incarcerated artist, and several incarcerated men. The book contains Kolts’s portraits of his fellow inmates as well as poetry and short prose from the men featured in the portraits. Kurtz joined The Dartmouth for a conversation on prison reform, the humanity of community members behind bars and the lessons learned while writing his book.
On June 9, pro-Palestinian and pro-union protesters disrupted Dartmouth’s Commencement ceremony on the Green, according to past reporting by The Dartmouth. The protest joined a wave of similar disruptions on college campuses nationwide.
On June 23, 12 Dartmouth Club Triathlon Team members and four alumni competed in the Cohasset Triathlon, a sprint triathlon race hosted annually in Cohasset, Mass.

In 2021 — the summer before his senior year at Dartmouth — Massachusetts native Ben Rice ’22 had the opportunity to play for his favorite childhood team, when the New York Yankees drafted him in the 12th round as the 363rd overall pick. Despite missing the 2020 and 2021 College seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Rice had impressed the Pinstripers when he played for the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod League in 2021. On June 17, Yankees starting first baseman Anthony Rizzo was placed on the 60-day injured list with a fractured radial neck and right arm. With a roster spot open, Rice, who was normally a catcher in the minors, took Rizzo’s position to fill the Yankees’ hole. Rice is currently ranked in the twelve spot in the Yankees’ farm system, which is the highest rank a catcher or infielder can have. The Dartmouth spoke with Rice after he faced the Baltimore Orioles, Atlanta Braves, New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays.
This summer, I let my housing situation be determined by fate. After being off campus for two terms in a row, I took a chance and luckily received an air-conditioned room on campus.
