Over the past four years, awards shows, such as the Golden Globes, Emmys and Oscars, have faced record-low ratings. Shifting patterns in viewership among younger audiences and the popularity of streaming —which produces an oversaturation of content—seem to threaten the relevance of awards season among the next generation.
At 1 p.m. on March 1, the Dartmouth New Deal Coalition held the “Divest Don’t Arrest Rally” in front of Parkhurst. The rally, which around 40 members of the community attended, was held just hours after Dean of the College Scott Brown sent out a campus-wide email announcing that the two remaining hunger strikers had agreed to end their strike. The email also acknowledged some of the strikers’ demands, including divestment, which they enumerated in a letter they delivered to a member of the College administration at the beginning of their strike.
In 2001, Mindy Kaling ’01 and Brenda Withers ’00 wrote “Matt and Ben,” an absurdist retelling of how Matt Damon and Ben Affleck wrote their Oscar-winning film “Good Will Hunting.” The play debuted in 2002 at the New York International Fringe Festival, winning the “Best in Fringe” award and becoming Kaling and Withers’s first theatrical hit. On March 2, Lily Easter ’25 and Arizbeth Rojas ’25 performed “Matt and Ben” at Dartmouth for the first time since its inception on campus.
On Wednesday, Feb. 28, Dartmouth leaders, Hopkins Center for the Arts employees, community members and donors gathered to sign a steel beam in front of Wilson Hall. The beam was then hoisted on top of the Hop for a celebration of its “topping off” in construction. Members of the community celebrated the milestone through a celebratory lunch at the Courtyard Cafe catered by Dartmouth Dining Services, according to Hop communications manager Asmaa Abdallah.

In 2022, Susan Collins became the President of the Boston Federal Reserve. Previously, she spent time at Harvard University, Georgetown University and the University of Michigan as an administrator and economics professor.

From Feb. 22 to 24, the Hanunder Arts Festival transformed Sawtooth Kitchen into a space for the Dartmouth arts community to showcase student films, music and visual arts.

In 1995, Dartmouth’s total tuition for one year including fees, food and housing was $23,615. Today it amounts to $84,270. While inflation and improvements to financial aid account for part of the tuition increase, the vast majority of tuition increases have gone towards increased operating costs. Proponents of the College’s current tuition scheme might argue that despite increasing costs, Dartmouth is more accessible than ever. Today’s financial aid packages no longer contain student loans, and Dartmouth’s financial aid website states that “families with total annual income below $65,000… have a zero parent contribution expectation.” Yet, Dartmouth remains inaccessible to many middle-class families.
Several faculty and staff members have formed Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine, a group that represents “an alternative voice on campus for discussion of the conflict in the Middle East, and the U.S.’s role in it,” according to an email from history professor Udi Greenberg — a member of the group. Greenberg said in an interview that the group consists of around 50 faculty and staff from across the five schools at the College.
Currently, 15 bills have been introduced in the New Hampshire legislature to limit the rights of transgender people. House Bill 619, which outlines which genital reconstructive surgeries are allowed to be performed on minors and which are not, passed through the New Hampshire House of Representatives in January and is scheduled to reach the state Senate in March. This bill, sponsored by eight Republican senators, contains several inaccurate words when referring to transgender healthcare. The phrase “gender reassignment surgery” itself is considered outdated by the medical community, which uses the term “gender-affirming care” to describe the variety of mental and physical healthcare options available to transgender people. The bill also contains the word “genitalia” 21 times and the word “transgender” a grand total of zero times. This is not the first time that Republican policymakers have displayed a shameless obsession over the genitals of children to misrepresent the nuances of transgender experiences.
On Feb. 25, the Dartmouth Student Government Senate met for its seventh weekly meeting of the winter term. Led by student body president Jessica Chiriboga ’24, the Senate discussed student wellness projects and spoke with a few hunger strikers for Palestine.
