Students adopt five children, remain abroad
By Jacques P. Hebert | June 30, 2005When she decided to participate in a service trip to Central America during her junior summer, Annabel Raebeck '04 could never have imagined she would become the parent of five foster children. It was while working at a family care center in Honduras that she and fellow Dartmouth student Katie Harrison '04 took it upon themselves to adopt five neglected Honduran children, whom they cared for until May 2005 after graduating from the College. According to Raebeck, Harrison learned of the opportunity through the Dartmouth chapter of the Navigators Christian group, which sends Dartmouth students to serve at a family care center in Flor del Campo, a slum on the outskirts of Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

'Unspoken rule' obstructs faculty-student dating
By Jacques P. Hebert | April 29, 2005Dartmouth undergraduates seeking age and maturity in an on-campus romantic partner are in luck. Though the Dartmouth student dating pool has disappointed some, the College currently maintains no written policy prohibiting students from dating members of the faculty. While student-faculty dating at Dartmouth has not created enough attention to necessitate an official policy, several other peer academic institutions have recently instated guidelines as a result of specific instances. However, a feeling of uncertainty and confusion envelops the issue, leaving students and members of the faculty unsure of what the boundaries are. Director of the Ethics Institute Aine Donovan stressed that maintaining professionalism and a sense of community is important in consideringwhether professors should be allowed to date students. "As a community, we try to counsel professionals that may be entering into areas of embarrassment," she said. While no official written guidelines exist, an unspoken rule bars professors from having an amorous relationship with students in their class.
