On April 7, six Dartmouth students competed in person and online at the New England Olympiada of Spoken Russian at Harvard University, a one-day event for students to demonstrate their Russian-speaking abilities. The competition invites students of various Russian language proficiency levels from colleges across New England to either perform monologues in-person or submit recordings of poem recitations and songs online, according to the organization’s website. All entries were required to fall under this year’s theme, "Мир книг/World of books.”
Dartmouth is home to approximately 4,500 undergraduates from all 50 states, 96 countries and more than 75 tribal nations and Indigenous communities, according to the Dartmouth admissions website.

As a first-year student on the Ivy Unlimited meal plan — which offers unlimited swipes into the Class of 1953 Commons, known colloquially as Foco — I eat many-a-bite at the College’s main dining hall. In all my meals there, I’ve realized that I gravitate toward one food station much more often than the others — the soup station.
On April 21, the Dartmouth Student Government Senate met for its fourth weekly meeting of the spring term. Led by student body president Jessica Chiriboga ’24, the Senate discussed potential solutions to the closure of weight-lifting machinery in Alumni Gymnasium due to discovery of asbestos on the floor below. It also considered a proposal for the College to adopt “institutional neutrality” — which would limit the College administration’s ability to take positions on social and political issues.

I applaud College President Sian Leah Beilock for securing tennis legend Roger Federer as the commencement speaker for the Class of 2024’s graduation on June 9. The announcement has been rightly met with a great deal of excitement not only from the student body and the greater Dartmouth community, but also from many unconnected to Dartmouth — in the Upper Valley and beyond. Federer’s visit to Hanover is sure to draw a great crowd.
