Director of cult favorites “The Favorite” and “Poor Things,” Yorgos Lanthimos’s “Kinds of Kindness” is a cruel contemplation on the painful sacrifices we make to get what we want. The film asks: Are we controlled by our desires? And how much control do we give to those who hold the key?
The College has suspended Beta Alpha Omega fraternity and Alpha Phi sorority following the death of Won Jang ’26, College spokesperson Jana Barnello wrote in an email statement to The Dartmouth. According to past reporting by The Dartmouth, Jang, a member of Beta, attended a joint social event with the two Greek organizations on Saturday evening. Authorities recovered Jang’s body from the Connecticut River on July 7.
Won Jang ’26, an undergraduate student from Middletown, Del., was found dead on July 7 “after a search involving state and local emergency responders,” Dean of the College Scott Brown wrote in an email to campus.

I, like many other students, spent my Thursday night on June 27 watching the debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. Unsurprisingly, the debate was labeled a disaster by many mainstream news sources. People called for Biden to step down, while others labeled Trump as a threat to our democracy. However, my overarching question was, “How did we get here?”
College President Sian Leah Beilock wrote in her apology to the Dartmouth community after 89 people were arrested on May 1 that she had no choice but to “ask the Hanover Police Department for help taking down the encampment” in order to “put the safety and wellbeing of students first.” Yet, by comparing the current administration’s militarized response to student encampments with that of previous administrations, it is evident that Beilock’s suppression of protest is unprecedented and dangerous.
On July 2, the Lebanon District Court held a hearing for Roan Wade ’25 and Kevin Engel ’27, two student protesters arrested on misdemeanor criminal trespass charges in October. Wade and Engel filed a motion for the College to drop their charges on May 10, according to Engel.
This summer, students can rent canoes, kayaks and paddleboards for free at Ledyard Canoe Club, according to Outdoor Engagement Committee member and economics professor Bruce Sacerdote ’90. The Dartmouth Wellness Office and Outdoor Engagement Committee are subsidizing the cost as part of an effort to make outdoor activities more accessible, he wrote in an email statement to The Dartmouth.
Devon Kurtz ’20 first became interested in prison volunteerism and prison reform while studying at Dartmouth. After graduating, he started a Quaker ministry at the Southern State Correctional Facility in Springfield, Vt., a state prison and jail for the Vermont side of the Upper Valley. His book, Sketches from Behind Prison Walls, is the result of a collaboration with Rein Kolts, an incarcerated artist, and several incarcerated men. The book contains Kolts’s portraits of his fellow inmates as well as poetry and short prose from the men featured in the portraits. Kurtz joined The Dartmouth for a conversation on prison reform, the humanity of community members behind bars and the lessons learned while writing his book.
On June 9, pro-Palestinian and pro-union protesters disrupted Dartmouth’s Commencement ceremony on the Green, according to past reporting by The Dartmouth. The protest joined a wave of similar disruptions on college campuses nationwide.
On June 23, 12 Dartmouth Club Triathlon Team members and four alumni competed in the Cohasset Triathlon, a sprint triathlon race hosted annually in Cohasset, Mass. Despite the rainy conditions, all 16 Dartmouth participants successfully completed the race, while three finished on the podium in their age groups.
In 2021 — the summer before his senior year at Dartmouth — Massachusetts native Ben Rice ’22 had the opportunity to play for his favorite childhood team, when the New York Yankees drafted him in the 12th round as the 363rd overall pick. Despite missing the 2020 and 2021 College seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Rice had impressed the Pinstripers when he played for the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod League in 2021. On June 17, Yankees starting first baseman Anthony Rizzo was placed on the 60-day injured list with a fractured radial neck and right arm. With a roster spot open, Rice, who was normally a catcher in the minors, took Rizzo’s position to fill the Yankees’ hole. Rice is currently ranked in the twelve spot in the Yankees’ farm system, which is the highest rank a catcher or infielder can have. The Dartmouth spoke with Rice after he faced the Baltimore Orioles, Atlanta Braves, New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays.
This summer, I let my housing situation be determined by fate. After being off campus for two terms in a row, I took a chance and luckily received an air-conditioned room on campus.
It’s summer in Hanover. The snow has melted, the mud has dried and the cold has (mostly) departed. A whole world of possibilities has opened up for the Class of 2026 upon their return to campus for the fabled “sophomore summer.” Since most students only get to experience this special term once, students must make the most of it, both in and out of Hanover. Enter the bucket list: eight activities for anyone looking to explore the Upper Valley. Last summer, The Dartmouth discussed swimming spots, stargazing and the jewelry studio. This year, we return with Ledyard’s free boat rentals and The New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
This past spring, I was lucky enough to be in Rome on the Art History Foreign Study Program. I explored the city, spent hours in museums and traveled across Italy on weekends with the 14 other Dartmouth students who were a part of the program. Dartmouth became a distant memory and Hanover a dot on a continent an ocean away. During prior on-campus terms, as much as I loved trips to the Skiway and chatting with my friends in the Collis Center for Student Life, Dartmouth’s insular nature had become suffocating. To preserve my waning love for Hanover, I needed to leave and experience something different.
On June 28, Still North Books & Bar hosted a poetry reading showcasing works of Vermont-based poet Kate Gibbel, Vermont-based poet and essayist Carlene Kucharczyk and Los Angeles-based poet and musician Alexandria Hall. Co-organized by Still North and Gibbel, the reading lasted one hour and drew 15 to 20 attendees.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve been waiting for the latest season of “Bridgerton” for two years, one month and 21 days. The series, co-produced by Netflix and Shondaland, probably needs no introduction, given that season three has enjoyed six consecutive weeks on Netflix’s top 10 list, with five weeks in the number one seat.
On June 28, the Graduate Organized Laborers of Dartmouth-United Electrical Workers — Dartmouth’s graduate student workers’ union — ratified a three-year contract with the College, College Provost David Kotz announced in a campus-wide email. The two parties previously reached a tentative agreement on the contract on June 24.
This week, Connor Norris ’25 tells his power outlet something shocking.
