Oscars in Review: ‘Argo' win was inevitable but mediocre

|

The last time the Academy and I kind of agreed on a Best Picture winner was when the exciting and timely "The Hurt Locker" (2009) won over the visually impressive but wholly unoriginal "Avatar" (2009). Since then, I've watched the Academy give its most prestigious award to films that can be considered inferior in retrospect.

Carribean artists contribute to Porter Foundation Symposium

|

Contemporary Caribbean artists will bring awareness of Haiti's financial and educational struggles to Hanover this week as part of the inaugural Porter Foundation Symposium, which kicks off today. The conference, titled "Haiti and Dartmouth at the Crossroads," will bring together working Haitian artists with businessmen, healthcare specialists and government officials, including former Haiti prime minister Michele Pierre-Louis, to generate new initiatives to assist Haiti's efforts to recover from the devastation of the 2010 earthquake. The three-day symposium will feature interdisciplinary projects in education, healthcare and economic development, according to Amita Kulkarni '10, a conference coordinator and presidential fellow in global health at the Dartmouth Center for Health Care Delivery Science. The event intends to underscore the role that institutions of higher education can play in Haiti's reconstruction. "It's been over three years since the earthquake but there is still a lot of work to be done," Jack Wilson, studio art professor and a conference coordinator, said.

Students create documentary

|

Although Dartmouth students pride themselves in tackling challenges of many forms, from academic to athletic to artistic, few can say they have faced live bears and lived to tell about it. Students in film and media studies professor Jeffrey Ruoff's introductory videomaking class spent the winter producing a documentary about Ben Kilham, a local scientist and farmer from Lyme who is raising and studying 27 orphaned black bear cubs.
