Three days after Commencement, College President Sian Leah Beilock — Dartmouth’s first female President — will conclude her first year in office. From a hope-inspiring inauguration and various new campus initiatives — such as the Dartmouth Climate Collaborative and Dartmouth Dialogues — to a narrow student vote of no confidence and arts and sciences faculty censure, Beilock’s tenure has been marked by both commendation and controversy. In emailed responses to The Dartmouth, Beilock unpacked her first year at the College and her plans going forward.

For the ninth consecutive year, The Dartmouth surveyed the opinions and experiences of Dartmouth’s graduating class. Since arriving at Dartmouth in 2020, the Class of 2024 has experienced substantial change — witnessing two College presidencies, disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the loss of multiple classmates. The Dartmouth aims to capture our unique graduating class’s final thoughts in this article. The Dartmouth’s survey canvased the following four topics: campus issues, student life, national and local politics and post-graduation plans.
Each year, between finals week and Commencement, graduating seniors have a week of no class to bond with their peers and relish in their final moments at Dartmouth. From June 2 to June 8 this year, three student committees — the senior week planning committee, memorial committee and senior selection committee — hosted dozens of events, including a memorial service and a senior prom, according to senior class president Kami Arabian ’24.
Friends, family and community members came together for the annual Dartmouth Lūʻau on May 12, a cultural event with a rich and extensive history. First held in 1996, the Dartmouth Lū‘au celebrates Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander identity on campus, unifying the community through food, music and hula dancing.

It creeps up on me every now and then.
We appreciate that our colleagues working on student well-being face incredible pressure and are constrained by Dartmouth’s definition of the problem. We were, nonetheless, stunned by the framing of the May 23 “Day for Community” as a “journey of reflection, connection and community building following the protest on the Green on May 1,” according to a message from the College’s chief health and wellness officer, Estevan Garcia. Last Thursday’s event was advertised as an opportunity for healing — healing, apparently, from the peaceful May 1 protest, but not from the mass arrests, physical injuries and collective harm inflicted on students, faculty and staff by the police response to that protest.
On May 23, the Dartmouth administration paid a company more than $8,500 to host a “Day for Community” in the Hinman Forum in the Rockefeller Center. Attendees were encouraged to write reflections suggesting how to rebuild our community and received a free burrito catered by Boloco. That same day, Dartmouth Student Government separately hosted a mental wellness event at Collis Common Ground, where they distributed free journals and desserts. DSG had previously discussed programming “related to engaging in dialogue across difference and addressing wellness and providing resources” during its May 12 weekly meeting.
