Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, 20 students meet with Education Professor Testa and discuss issues sharing personal experiences, opinions, advice, laughter and tears.
I'm a senior now. In theory, I guess that makes me the one who should have the wisdom, the words of advice that I am able to impart on the younger members of the Dartmouth community.
Lately I've been thinking about the ways that I've grown and changed since I've been at Dartmouth.
I love my FSP. I've been in Scotland for more than six weeks, so when I add the two weeks I spent travelling before I got here, I get a total of eight weeks in Europe.
Okay, how many of you had 99s tell you that the summer is a very chill time, because professors understand that it is summer and therefore assign less work?
There is something decidedly unnatural about taking classes during the summer. I become painfully aware of this every morning when I wake up to the beautiful sunshine and sigh contentedly.
Sophomore parent's weekend is upon us. Like all of you whose parents are arriving, I took steps to prepare for the weekend.
Wow, It's sophomore summer, and it is kind of scary to say that. For so long, sophomore summer was this term of fun in the distant future that everyone looked forward to and made grand plans for.
During the start of my freshman year at Dartmouth, I noticed how involved the students were. As busy as classes seemed to make all of us, somehow my classmates seemed to have time for other activities as well.
I spent last term working at an international refugee center in Chicago. It was, to say the least, an absolutely wonderful experience, perhaps even the best 10 weeks of my short life. When I first decided to apply for a Tucker Fellowship, I talked to a lot of people who had done them and other internships in the past.
