Food prices in Hanover are 4% above national average, according to the Council for Community and Economic Research.
Recently, I attended a Political Economy Project lecture by Daniel Di Martino, titled “The High Prices of Free Things: How Socialism Destroyed Venezuela.” The central thesis of the talk was basic: that state socialism, and this model of governance alone, is to blame for the poor social and economic conditions in Venezuela. I believe this assertion is fundamentally wrong. The speaker’s attempted use of the failed state of Venezuela to fearmonger against progressive movements in the United States was in bad faith and factually dishonest.
Over the past 18 months, the genocidal onslaught on the Palestinian people in Gaza has reached unfathomable levels. No food or medicine has entered for over two months. An Israeli minister recently announced what has already been clear policy: an intention to entirely destroy and annex Gaza.
Springtime in the Upper Valley is in full bloom, and Dartmouth students can finally leave their rooms wearing fewer than three layers. Hiking is a great way to get off campus, clear your mind, take in the nice weather and watch the seasons change.
As the Connecticut River Valley thaws, Dartmouth students are casting their lines into a new season. For members of Bait and Bullet — the College’s century-old hunting and fishing club — spring marks the return of some of the best fly fishing the Upper Valley has to offer.
For most Dartmouth students, balancing academics and extracurriculars is already challenging enough. Still, for Sam Macuga ’23, a U.S. Ski Jumping Team member, “busy” takes on a whole new meaning. Macuga, who grew up in Park City, Utah, is training for the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics while pursuing a Dartmouth degree. Her unique ability to manage being both a professional athlete and an Ivy League student has defined her time as an undergraduate.
In 1775, in a village in Hampshire, England, an author was born who would go on to be among the most influential and beloved in the world. In the state of New Hampshire this year, fans of Jane Austen are celebrating her 250th birthday in high style.
As temperatures climb into the 60s and 70s, the Green has come alive: frisbees flying, house music blaring from oversized speakers and somewhere, without fail, a circle of students kicking around a small woven bag — a hacky sack.
On April 25, the College announced in an email to campus that it will award seven honorary degrees at the Class of 2025 commencement ceremony on June 15. The honorary degrees include two Doctors of Arts, three Doctors of Humane Letters, one Doctor of Laws and one Doctor of Sciences to individuals who have made significant contributions to athletics, the arts, public policy and the sciences.
Green Key weekend began over a century ago as an informal series of fraternity parties, but today, it is Dartmouth’s signature spring celebration. From its earliest roots in 1899 — when the Class of 1900 threw “Spring Houseparties” with sports, dances and a prom — to the riot and cancellation of the Green Key Ball in 1967, the weekend has always been a celebration of the spring.
When you hear the words “Dartmouth bubble,” several iconic images come to mind: maybe lunch on Collis Porch, flitzing or pong. But for better or worse, a little bumblebee flying over an app called Fizz gave me my first impressions of Dartmouth.
Whether it’s escaping the Choates, getting that long-desired single or striving for the comforts of “Hotel” Wheelock, the housing draw brings out students’ hopes for better possibilities. This is especially true for those living at Summit on Juniper, a College-owned apartment complex in West Lebanon.
Almost exactly 250 years ago, as the sun rose on a late spring day, members of the fifth graduating class of Dartmouth College awoke to the sound of distant cannon fire. Eleazar Wheelock, the College’s founder and first president, noticed it too, writing in his diary and in letters to friends of the “noise of cannon” echoing through the valley.
This spring term, College occupancy has been slightly higher, compared to previous terms, according to undergraduate housing director Rachael Class-Giguere.
If you know me, you know I like to relax.
On May 12, Dartmouth Student Government hosted a panel with College President Sian Leah Beilock and other senior administrators to share updates and answer questions regarding federal government actions affecting Dartmouth. During the panel, Beilock defended several of her recent decisions — which have garnered criticism from faculty, students and alumni — and argued the state of free speech is better at Dartmouth than other campuses.
On May 10, the Dartmouth Diabetes Link — a student advocacy group for students with diabetes at Dartmouth — raised $10,700 for the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center endocrinology department at the inaugural Dartmouth Diabetes Dash 5K run. The money will be donated to a DHMC fund to subsidize the cost of diabetes education for recently diagnosed patients, according to Diabetes Link co-president Coston Autry ’28.
At the annual town meeting on May 13, Hanover residents passed a petition Article 23 that advised the Selectboard to prohibit Hanover Police from entering into agreements that would allow the department to be trained and deputized as immigration officers. Earlier in the day, residents voted to amend its zoning ordinances to allow for duplexes to be built on each unit in town.
