On Reframing Spring

By Cristian Cano | April 22, 2020

This term, I’m finally taking the legendary course that is ENGS 12, “Design Thinking.” Okay, maybe legendary is a strong word — but I’ve never heard so many people describe a course as “life-changing” before, and when I was reflecting on how I wanted to spend my last term as an undergrad, I figured it was my last chance to find out what all the buzz was about. That said, nearly every time I tell people that I’m taking ENGS 12, they follow up by asking if I’m taking it for the distrib. It seems to them almost unfathomable that a senior in his last term would take a class not for any requirement, but simply to learn and acquire new life skills.

TTLG: Bumps Along the Way

By Jennifer West | April 22, 2020

Unfortunately, none of that came to fruition — at least not immediately.

Editors' Note

By Sarah Alpert and Novi Zhukovsky | April 22, 2020

Let’s face it: Zoom calls are awkward. In those seconds between when you join the meeting and your lecture begins, what are you supposed to do? Prepare your pen and notepad? Sip your morning coffee? Ask how the professor’s day is going, even though you know every day is the same in quarantine? Or perhaps you resort to a small talk staple and describe the weather where you are.

Q&A with environmental studies professor Andrew Friedland

By Caris White | April 22, 2020

These days, it can feel like the coronavirus pandemic is the only topic in the news. It’s understandable, given the massive human toll and global scale of the crisis. However, I, for one, have started scouring the internet for any hint of good news. And I’ve found a source of hope in reports that as humanity lives in quarantine, the health of the environment is improving: There is more and more news now of clearer waters, better air quality and a decrease in pollution.

By Alex Fredman | April 21, 2020

This is a story about a man who is one of the most important Dartmouth alumni you’ve probably never heard of. His name is Kevin Demoff, and for the last few years, the mere mention of his name would make me furious.
