Assembly passes undergraduate teaching plan

By Charles Gardner | October 17, 2001

Student Assembly passed a resolution to launch the Undergraduate Teaching Initiative in a nearly unanimous vote during a weekly meeting last night in 101 Collis. The Initiative, which was sponsored by Vice President of Academic Affairs Aly Rahim '02, is dedicated to improving and supporting undergraduate teaching at the College through a series of four primary components. Included among these are annual assessments of departmental commitment to undergraduate teaching, quarterly faculty awards, teaching grants to be funded by the Assembly and a future report supporting the creation of an undergraduate teaching center at the College. The passage of the Initiative was intended primarily as an endorsement of the overall plan by the Assembly, according to Rahim, who emphasized that concrete action on the components would come later. "[The Initiative] gives us a snapshot of what we are intending to do," Rahim said.

Greeks salvage image with events this week

By Nathaniel Ward | October 16, 2001

In a year that has brought much bad publicity to Dartmouth's fraternities and sororities, the College's Greek societies are sponsoring a series of events designed to show how their organizations can benefit the community. The first annual "Greek Week" is an event intended "to provide incoming students with a look at the College's Greek organizations outside of a basement context, and also to show that we have a vested interest in all facets of student life," according to Eric Powers '02, president of the Inter-Fraternity Council and a member of The Dartmouth's Sport Staff. Greek Week organizer Kate Reibel '03 said she hopes this year's events will help "shed positive light on Greek life," especially among administrators and students critical of the Greek system. The events that make up Greek Week have historically been scattered throughout the year.
