Many students might wonder what to do in the Upper Valley during the winter. While some of us hit the Dartmouth Skiway to get in a few weekend runs, or skate with friends on Occom Pond, those classic seasonal options can get repetitive. There’s no denying that some of New England’s charm wears off when the fall foliage is long gone and it’s too cold to swim in the Connecticut River. As a native of the Northeast, I’ve found that making the most of these chillier months often requires some creativity. So, if you’re looking for more ways to enjoy the cold this term, I recommend that you find a car, turn on your best playlist and head 30 minutes west to Woodstock, Vt., for a not-so-hidden gem: Billings Farm and Museum.

On Jan. 13, College President Sian Leah Beilock announced the appointment of economics professor Nina Pavcnik as the interim Dean of Arts and Sciences, a position established by the Future of Arts and Sciences project. As interim dean, Pavcnik — who co-led the project’s steering committee with Provost David Kotz — will implement the proposal to combine the currently separate faculty of Arts and Sciences and Division of Student Affairs into a single administrative and budgetary structure. The Board of Trustees unanimously voted to approve the plan on Nov. 8, 2024, after it passed an advisory vote among the faculty of Arts and Sciences in October 2024. Pavcnik will serve as interim dean until the permanent dean is appointed through an external search — a process that will start in the fall of 2025, she said. The Dartmouth sat down with Pavcnik to discuss her work so far with the Future of Arts and Sciences project, the experience she brings to the interim dean role and her next steps in the position.
Extreme weather is on the rise across the United States, according to a Jan. 10 report by NASA. Last year was the hottest ever on record, and in the first weeks of 2025, environmental crises — such as the Southern California wildfires — have continued record-breaking trends. For many Dartmouth students, these crises thousands of miles away are in fact close to home.
