After leading Dartmouth football to the seventh-best rush defense in the Football Championship Subdivision, defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Don Dobes was named the American Football Coaches Association’s National Assistant Coach of the Year in the FCS. Dobes has led the Big Green to both team accolades — five Ivy League championships in his 15 years with the program — and individual — this season, eight players on his defense received All-Ivy recognition.
For international students like me, the Cambridge Dictionary isn’t just helpful for essay writing. It’s also a survival tool during dining-hall conversations and the occasional lost-in-translation group chat. Sure, it can help polish grammar and untangle obscure terms in class readings. But dig a little deeper and you’ll find something else entirely: words straight from the internet, slang that feels miles away from anything academic and is surprisingly similar to what your younger siblings are probably texting right now.

The end of every term at Dartmouth feels like a reckoning. Finals bring chaos: panicked cramming, desperate office hours, the startling Vox Daily notification reminding you that you’ve overstayed your welcome on 3FB and should really go to bed. The quick pace of these weeks always sparks big questions for me: What am I doing? Will I pass my classes? What do I even want from my life? The finale of sophomore summer, of this momentous chapter of Dartmouth life, only intensifies those feelings. With half my college experience behind me, the pressure to feel certain about who I am, what I want, where I’m going presses heavier on my chest, my lungs, my arms. I’m pinned to the ground. I’ve never been especially religious, but studying for my organic chemistry final has me sending up prayers.
A memory: My roommate and I collapse into our seats across from each other at the dining table of our apartment in Prague — home for the next 10 weeks. Between us are bowls of couscous, roast chicken thighs, grilled eggplant and roasted carrots. As we begin to eat, our conversation drifts from excitement about being abroad, to weird cake ideas, to concerns about pigeons in the apartment. Warm sunset light bathes our meal. Like my study-abroad friends often said, this must be the point.
Dear Freak of the Week,
Mingyue Zha ’27 and quantitative social sciences professor Herbert Chang ’18 won a top paper award from the International Communication Association for their research on online gender inequalities. This summer, the two travelled to Copenhagen, Denmark, to present the paper on the international stage. Their work analyzed over 45,000 YouTube videos and six million comments using game theory and network analysis to look at gaps in the online gaming community. The Dartmouth spoke with Zha about the project.
New Hampshire has the lowest amount of funding for higher education in the country, according to a recent study by the New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute that ranked all 50 states. The study comes less than two months after New Hampshire approved its 2026-2027 state budget, which cut funding for the University System of New Hampshire by 17.6%.
The Office of the Provost is launching the Dartmouth Initiative for Middle East Exchange, a three-year pilot program to strengthen academic and professional partnerships between Dartmouth and the Middle East and North Africa region. DIMEX is seeking to work with other universities and institutions in the Middle East and North Africa to “enrich Dartmouth’s global excellence,” according to Middle Eastern Studies professor and program director Jonathan Smolin.
A federal antitrust lawsuit filed on Aug. 8 in the U.S. District Court for Massachusetts accused Dartmouth and 31 other colleges and universities — including Columbia University, Cornell University, Duke University and the University of Pennsylvania — of conspiring to inflate tuition through binding early decision admissions.
Misoo Bang is a Vermont-based Korean-American artist whose paintings and drawings engage with both personal and cultural experience, exploring themes of trauma alongside identity, healing and empowerment. Named as one of the 10 emerging artists of New England by Art New England in 2019 and one of the Vermont artists to watch by the Vermont Arts Council in 2020, her work has been exhibited across the U.S. and internationally. She is also a lecturer at the University of Vermont, teaching Studio Art.
Today, President Donald Trump and President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin will meet in Alaska to discuss a possible end to the war in Ukraine. Students of history may find the circumstance disquietingly similar to an event 87 years ago, but I am shocked by how few people seem to be talking about it.
Campus protests, opinion pieces and open letters continue to petition for boycotts of Israeli academics, as a means of pressuring Israel to end its war in Gaza. I argue that weakening academia anywhere, including Israel, is most likely to have consequences exactly opposite to petitioners’ stated or implied goals of helping Palestinian people in Gaza.
The other morning, I was enjoying a leisurely stroll to the gym. I was doing something dumb on my phone when suddenly, I was struck by a splash of cold water. I looked up, expecting an errant water balloon or an ephemeral summer shower. I was instead greeted by a cold, unfeeling black cylinder emerging mysteriously from the ground. I had once again become the victim of the panopticon of automated sprinklers, whose watering paths frequently fly carelessly in the face of major pedestrian thruways. This 10 a.m. shower is emblematic of something larger on our campus: a strange grass fetish.
Vishva Natarajan MED ’28, a second-year student at the Geisel School of Medicine, was recently named one of 11 recipients of the 2025 Jack & Fay Netchin Medical Student Fellowship from the American Brain Tumor Association. He will receive a $3,000 grant from the ABTA to facilitate further research. Natarajan’s project, which uses artificial intelligence to analyze data from rare brain tumor tissue to improve the study of tumor-related epilepsy, builds on collaborations with Geisel faculty mentors Dr. Jennifer Hong and Dr. Saeed Hassanpour and reflects his interest in harnessing AI to advance neurosurgery. He spoke with The Dartmouth about his research, the importance of his mentors and the future of AI in healthcare.
At the end of the legislative session in July, Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte vetoed seven bills that had passed both chambers with broad support from her own party. The vetoed legislation included bills that would have made it easier to remove books from classrooms, expanded religious exemptions for school vaccine requirements and permitted the requirement of people to use bathrooms according to their sex at birth.
Ph.D. student Xiaotian Liu GR dropped his lawsuit against the Trump administration after his F-1 student immigration status was reinstated on Aug. 8.
