Dear Democrats,

At 5:35 a.m. on Nov. 6, The Associated Press called the 2024 presidential election for former President Donald Trump — marking the first time in 20 years a Republican presidential candidate has won the popular vote. The result came as a shock to some Dartmouth students — a majority of whom expressed plans to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.
On Nov. 3, the Dartmouth Student Government Senate met for its seventh weekly meeting of the fall term. Led by student body president Chukwuka Odigbo ’25, the Senate debated an amendment proposed by deputy town affairs liaison and General Senator Evan Gerson ’27 to “clarify” language in the DSG constitution and allow senators to call “impromptu” votes. The amendment failed 6 - 8 - 3.
On Oct. 23, The Lone Bellow — a Nashville-based rock and roots trio composed of guitarist and vocalist Zach Williams, multi-instrumentalist Brian Elmquist and guitarist Kanene Donehey Pipkin — performed on campus.
Welcome to week 8, Mirror. The combination of Homecoming weekend, the presidential election and the New York City Marathon — all of which somehow took place within the past week — have stirred up a strange cocktail of emotions within me, ranging from nostalgia to dread and everything in between. While I spent the better part of Election Day glued to the incremental shifts of The New York Times election forecast needle, I’m fairly confident that no one who reads this Editor’s Note is looking to me to provide political commentary — especially since this is the first presidential election in which I was old enough to vote.
Every time I exit my third-floor bedroom and walk out the front door of my sorority house, I pass the roughly 1,500 faces of former sorority members hanging in the hallways. On each floor of the house are annual composites — large, framed collections of photos of each active member in the chapter. As I brush my teeth in the morning or head upstairs after studying, I have developed a pastime of scanning the walls for fashion trends, fun hairstyles and familiar last names.
With only 24 hours in a day, sometimes students feel as though there isn’t enough time to accomplish their entire to-do lists. During especially hectic weeks filled with midterm and final exams, some may even feel like they cannot afford to stop working. This often results in burnout — when students get tired or overworked, they swear that they can feel their hair turning gray.
Erica Barks-Ruggles, the former U.S. ambassador to Rwanda, joined Dartmouth’s faculty this August as part of the Dickey Center for International Understanding’s Magro Family Distinguished Visitors in International Affairs program for the fall term. The program invites experts in international politics to give lectures or teach full courses at Dartmouth, according to the Dickey Center.
Nationwide, election results have trickled in since the polls closed on Election Day. Here’s what we know about the New Hampshire races — and what’s still too early to call.
In the months leading up to the 2024 general election, campus-wide discussions on politics have been plentiful. The College and student organizations alike have hosted events with national political figures — from the Rockefeller Center for Public Policy’s 2024 Election Speaker Series, welcoming speakers like former Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., to campus, to the Dartmouth Political Union’s debate between former senior counselor to former President Donald Trump Kellyanne Conway and political strategist Donna Brazile. Beyond organized discussions, students have also debated the election in conversations with friends and peers. From Tuesday, Oct. 29 to Sunday, Nov. 3, The Dartmouth surveyed the undergraduate student body about their views on the election, the current political climate and various policy issues.
Election Day 2024 has arrived, as millions of Americans prepare to head to the polls and cast their ballots in Hanover and around the nation.
A recent op-ed by Jacob Markman ’27 claims that the “anti-Israel movement” is “coercive,” “illiberal” and overly antagonistic to students with Zionist and pro-Israel attitudes. In it, Markman argues that student protesters should engage in “open conversation and discussion” rather than “sign-waving and name-calling.” Throughout his piece, Markman seems to treat the movement as if its goal is to create happy spaces for pro-Israel students to chat with pro-Palestinian students, wherein the former can be comfortable in their support for Israel’s war in Gaza while agreeing to disagree with those who support Palestinian life.
It’s Election Day, and campus is abuzz with activity and emotion — both with the excitement of getting to watch, in real-time, votes flow in for the next leader of the United States, but also with a profound sense of anticipation, nervousness and stress. Perhaps it is the historic polarity between opposing parties, or the pervasive letters, advertisements and texts sent during this election cycle. Or maybe it is the deeply important issues at stake on the ballot — from reproductive freedoms to climate change to tax policy. One thing is certain: there is a genuine sense that this is, as many media outlets have deemed it, the “most important election in our lifetime.”
Today, I believe Dartmouth students can help shape the election outcome in New Hampshire and the country by voting for leaders committed to creating a more just, sustainable and inclusive future. As a Dartmouth student, you are a domiciled resident of New Hampshire, meaning the state is the principal place where you live. Therefore, you have a right to vote in New Hampshire, and what happens in New Hampshire politics directly affects your life on campus. Electing Democrats at every level of government means supporting candidates who will advocate for the issues students should care about — climate action, healthcare access, reproductive rights and social equity. For young people who want to make a difference, voting in this election is one of the most powerful ways to stand up for your values and ensure that our leadership reflects our vision for this country.
From Nov. 7 to Nov. 9, the Board of Trustees will review and vote on The Future of Arts and Sciences Project, which would create a school of Arts and Sciences. The project passed an advisory vote among faculty of the Arts and Sciences with overwhelming support on Oct. 30.
After more than a year of campaign rallies, on-campus student debates and get-out-the-vote efforts, Election Day is here.
Jackson Proctor ’25, desperate to keep the play alive, rolled to his right, stutter-stepped and made his way to the sideline. Hounded by zeroes on the clock, Proctor broke a tackle, set his feet and launched the football toward the right side of the endzone, 32 yards away.
Elections are a busy time at the Rockefeller Center for Public Policy. Dvora Greenberg Koelling knows the process well. In the lead up to the 2024 presidential election, Greenberg Koelling — who serves as public programs and special events assistant director — has been helping to coordinate the public programming for the 2024 Election Speaker Series. The series, in partnership with GOVT 30.17/PBPL 24, “The 2024 Election,” has brought national political figures, including former Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., to campus this fall. The Dartmouth sat down with Greenberg Koelling to discuss her career, work at the Rockefeller Center and the rollout of the speaker series thus far.
