Dear FOTW,
A day at Dartmouth is like a never ending to-do list. Students rush between classes, meetings and meals, sometimes already late for wherever they’re headed next. But between all the hustle and bustle, the smaller moments are what stand out. A door held open. A wave and a smile to someone passing on the green. Someone slowing their pace to walk alongside a friend.
On Feb. 7, the Dartmouth Student Government and the Tucker Center co-hosted a vigil on Collis Porch to commemorate the victims of the Dec. 13 mass shooting at Brown University.
Norwich Farmers Market will relocate to a new, year-round location, according to Norwich Farmers Market board president Leslie O’Hara. Vendors, customers and directors discussed the market’s plans for a year-round facility with improved parking capacity.
On Feb. 8, at the fifth weekly Dartmouth Student Government meeting of the winter term, senators discussed a potential amendment to the current senator residency policy. The policy currently requires candidates to be in residence for at least two of the three regular academic terms — fall, winter and spring — following their election.
On Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX, which took place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
Super Bowl LX was largely a dud of a game, with touchdowns only coming in the second half and special teams being the main story. However, the larger story came during Bad Bunny’s halftime performance. Bad Bunny, or Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, performed what I believe was one of the best halftime shows of all time.
Bad Bunny’s halftime performance was an emotional one for millions of Latino/a/x/e and Caribbean people. And it wasn’t just the music that hit us hard. The day before the Super Bowl, I was in the basement of a union hall in Los Angeles discussing the latest attempt to translate xenophobia into political support for increasingly unpopular MAGA Republican members of Congress seeking reelection. Since most measures of affordability for working-class families have gotten worse since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the White House has decided to fast track a series of so-called “affordable housing” proposals ahead of this month’s State of the Union address, beginning with a change to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development rules that have been in place for generations.

On Jan. 26, the National Parks Conservation Association board of trustees named Tiernan Sittenfeld ’96 as their next president and CEO. The NPCA, a non-profit which lobbies for the country’s national parks and promotes the preservation and expansion of public land, has over 1.9 million members nationally. Sittenfeld is leaving the League of Conservation Voters, an advocacy group focused on civic engagement and environmental policy, after two decades of service in legislative lobbying.
The Dartmouth ski team competed at home on Jan. 30-31, finishing second behind the University of Vermont. Skiers competed in alpine and nordic races spread between the Dartmouth Skiway in Lyme Center, N.H., and Oak Hill in Hanover, N.H. This marked the end of a nine-carnival Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association winning streak for the Nordic team.
In their last home game of the season, the Dartmouth women’s hockey team lost 3-0 to Quinnipiac, bringing their record to 4-21-3 overall.
Awaiting the postgame press conference, the player’s lounge at Leede Arena was quiet when head coach David McLaughlin entered.
As part of The Dartmouth’s coverage of the upcoming 2026 midterm and gubernatorial elections, the paper is publishing an interview series, “A Sit-Down with The Dartmouth,” featuring in-depth conversations with major national and statewide candidates in New Hampshire.
“Melania” chronicles 20 days in the life of Melania Trump leading up to the second inauguration of her husband, then president-elect Donald Trump. While the first half of the documentary consists primarily of event and wardrobe planning for the presidential transition, the second serves as a play-by-play of the ceremony and subsequent celebrations. Yet despite the centrality of Melania’s perspective and frequent voiceover narration from her, the film offers almost zero insight into the first lady as a person. Though she may be the protagonist, no inner life is revealed.
“Hamnet” is a film designed to make you cry. In Chloé Zhao’s film, raw performances and breathtaking cinematography coalesce into a stunning meditation on grief and its endurance. An adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s 2020 novel, “Hamnet” follows William Shakespeare’s nuclear family before and after the death of his son Hamnet. Both the novel and the screenplay, which was co-written by O’Farrell and Zhao, assume that Shakespeare’s famous tragedy “Hamlet” was inspired by the death of his son. Although scholars debate the veracity of this premise, its historicity is ultimately irrelevant — the film never claims to be accurate, and its power derives from its efficacy as a deeply human tale.
The Hopkins Center for the Arts hosted the Grammy Award-winning Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and the globally acclaimed pianist Marc-André Hamelin on Feb. 4 for a performance of a physically challenging, emotionally-charged lineup featuring recently commissioned and contemporary orchestrations of classic scores from Beethoven, Liszt and Schubert.
