Freshmen awarded research grants

By Megan Spillane | May 23, 2003

Eleven members of the class of 2006 were recently awarded First-Year Summer Research Projects. These students were selected out of what was described by the Office of the Dean of First Year Students as "the largest and strongest pool in the program's history. The program, which has been in existence for 12 years, is designed to provide first-years with an opportunity to conduct research in a specialized academic field, to interact closely with a Dartmouth faculty member and to take advantage of summer off term opportunities. "It's one of the programs that I'm always most excited about in the First Year Office," Dean of First-Year Students Gail Zimmerman said.

SARS won't affect access to College

By Elise Dunphe | May 21, 2003

In line with recommendations from the Center for Disease Control, Dartmouth is openly welcoming students and visitors from countries that the World Health Organization has highlighted as being high-risk for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. Although other colleges have enacted policies requiring individuals who may have been exposed to SARS to spend 10 days outside of their country before coming to campus -- allowing for the 10-day incubation period that occurs before symptoms appear -- Dartmouth is not instating such a policy, said Dr. Jack Turco, Director of Health Services at the College during a panel discussion yesterday. "We're welcoming people to come to campus," Turco said. Turco and Steve Silver, the Director of the International Office, expressed their fears that the SARS scare would result in racial profiling. "We don't want people who look like they come from China to be treated differently," Turco said.
