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.

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, 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.

More than 75% of Dartmouth undergraduates are involved in sports — whether that be varsity, club and intramural teams or physical education programs. It is no surprise, then, that athletic activities are a popular pastime on the Green, especially during Sophomore Summer, when the grass is lush and spirits high.
Felix Rawlinson ’23, a recently graduated member of the men’s heavyweight rowing team, was named a second team Empacher-IRCA All-American for rowing on June 20. In 2023, the British rower was one of five members of the Big Green men’s heavyweight rowing team who competed at the 2023 World Rowing Under 23 Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, competing for Great Britain. Having graduated earlier this month, Rawlinson will next study genomic medicine at Oxford University. The Dartmouth sat down with Rawlinson to discuss his rowing career, proudest achievements and future plans.
One warm day this April, Kexin Cai GR and her partner Kristian Droste decided to drive up to Mont Tremblant in Canada to catch the last day of spring skiing on the mountain. They shed their coats on the chair lift and skied down in puddles, Droste said.
On June 24, Dartmouth and Graduate Organized Laborers of Dartmouth-United Electrical Workers, the College’s graduate student workers’ union, reached a tentative agreement for a three-year contract, College Provost David Kotz announced in an email to graduate students.

Minutes after the commencement ceremony began at 9 a.m., approximately two dozen individuals marched along the perimeter of the Green drumming and chanting for “union power” and, later around 10 a.m., also began protesting the Israel-Hamas war.
