The Dartmouth

While walking down Main Street in Hanover on a sunny summer day, the array of sweets in the window of My Brigadeiro caught my eye. For the last two years, I had only heard rave reviews about the café, but I had never ventured inside. Something about the sunlight hitting the glistening croissants on this particular day finally drew me in.

What’s in a ‘Brat’ Summer?

(08/16/24 7:05am)

“Brat” is difficult to define, especially when I’m trying to explain to my mom why labeling Vice President Kamala Harris as a brat is a good thing and why everything seems to be lime green. “Brat,” British singer Charli XCX’s most recent album, has become a cultural phenomenon in the short months since its June 7 release.

Per Dartmouth tradition, many members of the Class of 2026 are on campus and enrolled for sophomore summer — a time of sunshine and class bonding. Some sophomores, however, are spending the summer away from classes — or Hanover altogether.

Reflection: Gardens and Community on Campus

(08/02/24 8:37am)

Although walking around campus this summer has been a battle, with all of the new fences and blocked roads due to construction, something new has sprouted up amid the dust — an on-campus garden.

Spotlight on the ‘Cabal’ of ’91 Trustees

(07/19/24 7:42pm)

About one-fifth of Dartmouth’s Board of Trustees, composed of 26 members, graduated from the Class of 1991 — including some of the Board’s biggest celebrities. From television producer and screenwriter Shonda Rhimes ’91 H’14 to journalist Jake Tapper ’91 H’17 and former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal ’91, the former classmates stand out in number and stature. The Dartmouth spoke with some of the ’91 Trustees to learn more about their role on the Board — and investigate whether they might have an outsized influence (or perhaps some friendly class rivalry).

Umpleby’s Bakery & Café — if you haven’t eaten there, you’ve heard of it. Maybe you have friends who work there, maybe you’re a parent and your student took you there for lunch last parents’ weekend or maybe the little South Street locale has been sitting on your to-do list. No matter your relationship to the café, I have reviewed it for you and am excited to give you some insight into one of Hanover’s favorite spots.

Summer Living: What’s in Your Space?

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.

Breaking Out of Hanover: A Bucket List

(07/05/24 7:00am)

It’s summer in Hanover. The snow has melted, the mud has dried and the cold has (mostly) departed. A whole world of possibilities has opened up for the Class of 2026 upon their return to campus for the fabled “sophomore summer.” Since most students only get to experience this special term once, students must make the most of it, both in and out of Hanover. Enter the bucket list: eight activities for anyone looking to explore the Upper Valley. Last summer, The Dartmouth discussed swimming spots, stargazing and the jewelry studio. This year, we return with Ledyard’s free boat rentals and The New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Off and On: Students Return to Hanover for Sophomore Summer

(07/05/24 7:00am)

This past spring, I was lucky enough to be in Rome on the Art History Foreign Study Program. I explored the city, spent hours in museums and traveled across Italy on weekends with the 14 other Dartmouth students who were a part of the program. Dartmouth became a distant memory and Hanover a dot on a continent an ocean away. During prior on-campus terms, as much as I loved trips to the Skiway and chatting with my friends in the Collis Center for Student Life, Dartmouth’s insular nature had become suffocating. To preserve my waning love for Hanover, I needed to leave and experience something different.
