By Erin Landau | October 17, 2012

As Student Assembly continues to implement initiatives such as the First-Year Mentoring program, the promotion of Sarner Underground, the inclusion of student senators from other campus organizations and the "Take a Professor to Lunch" program, students have expressed mixed opinions about the organization, its communication and the resource allocation of these programs. The First-Year Mentoring program, which pairs upperclassman mentors with first-year students to ease the transition from high school to college, has hosted two events thus far, including a barbecue on the first day of classes, Student Body Vice President Julia Danford '13 said.

Beach considers effects of economy on students

By Hannah Wang | October 11, 2012

Nushy Golriz / The Dartmouth The country's debt crisis is likely to negatively impact current students' financial security in future years, Director of the Heritage Foundation's Center for Data Analysis William Beach told approximately 35 students and community members in a Thursday lecture. Because most of the discussion in Washington about debt focuses on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, people under the age of 30 are often left out of important conversations, Beach said. As government debt increases, the economy will inevitably slow in a way that will have negative social implications for current students, he said. "Slower economic activity will slow wage growth because there is less money, less demand," he said. An unstable economy can cause people to delay marriage because they are uncertain about the future, Beach said.
