An: Selective Campus Groups Reinforce Inequity

In my sophomore year at Dartmouth, I auditioned for the Dog Day Players — a highly competitive campus improv group. At least 100 people showed up to the initial audition. We were packed into a lecture hall, way over capacity. We filled every seat, poured out onto the staircase and lined the walls. It was loud and boisterous. People puffed their chests, deepened their voices and exuded extroverted confidence. I knew I had to make a strong impression. Despite having no prior experience, I managed to make the room roar with laughter and was selected, among a few others, for a second round.

Editor’s Note

Between “midterm” papers that, for some reason, fall closer to the end of the term than the middle, and the general burnout-induced slump that plagues campus, week eight historically possesses an unforgiving character. There are occasions when we hit the lottery and have perfectly linear schedules in which our assignments and exams space themselves out, but more likely than not, it’s the opposite. 

Exit 13 and the Town It Destroyed: Deep Dive on Lewiston, Vt.

Fifty-eight years ago, the Vermont state government razed Lewiston, Vt. to the ground — burning nine buildings and destroying more than 200 years of history in just 15 minutes. The former village, located across the Connecticut River from the College, was once a transportation and commerce hub in the Upper Valley. 

Weekenders: Montréal

Having chosen to attend college in a place that’s home to just over 12,000 people, one might hold a natural appreciation for small towns like Hanover. But even those allured by the quaintness of New England may yearn for some more excitement now and then — and a weekend in Montréal, Québec just might do the trick.

Students from Conflict Zones Grapple with Distance and Disconnection

As an international student from India, I’ve found that I am just as much Delhi’s as I am Dartmouth’s. While I am often not fully present in either place, I am never truly absent either. Whenever I return to Delhi, I hyper-fixate on everything that is different — how my city has changed, how I have. For me, it’s usually only small details — my childhood park getting renovated, the family jokes I need to be looped into, having to look up the route to my best friend’s house — yet it still feels all-consuming.

Q&A with Center for Career Design inaugural executive director Joseph Catrino

On Feb. 13, College President Sian Leah Beilock announced the appointment of Joseph Catrino as the inaugural executive director of the newly established Dartmouth Center for Career Design — a successor to the current Center for Professional Development. In his role, Catrino is set to expand the Center for Professional Development into a “best-of-its-kind resource” for students to plan their career paths, according to Dartmouth News. A career administrator and educator, Catrino served as the founding executive director of career and life design at Trinity College from 2021 to 2025, where he used a “unified framework” to strengthen “career development, student success and retention services.” The Dartmouth sat down with Catrino to discuss his background in education and his plans for the Center for Career Design.

Alsheikh: A Formal Proposal for Divestment is Here — And It Must Move Forward

On Feb. 19, Dartmouth Divest for Palestine — a coalition of Dartmouth students, faculty, staff and alumni — submitted a formal proposal for Dartmouth’s divestment from “companies complicit in Israel’s violations of international law.” DD4P delivered its filing to the College’s Board of Trustees, College President Sian Leah Beilock and the Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility — the administrative body tasked with reviewing investment-related proxy resolutions relating to important social issues. Endorsed by over 25 organizations across campus, the 55-page proposal meticulously lays out a myriad of specific human rights and international law violations — most notably genocide, apartheid and the ongoing illegal occupation and Israeli settlement of Palestinian land — that must trigger Dartmouth’s responsibility to take action. Namely, the proposal recommends prohibiting any investment in corporations complicit to these violations.

Men’s basketball has forged anew. What’s the cause?

The Big Green has risen from the ashes. After a miserable 2023-24 season — in which the team finished 6-21 and last in the Ivy League, with a 2-12 conference record — Dartmouth has taken a dramatic step up in its play this season. The Big Green is 13-11 and, sitting at second place in the Ivy League at 7-4, has a chance to earn its first winning season since 1999. With an opportunity to play spoiler in Ivy Madness next month, The Dartmouth has found itself asking: Why is Dartmouth men’s basketball suddenly an Ivy League contender? Could this be the season to end the 66-year NCAA tournament drought for the Big Green?

Every roster is seeking glory.

Verbum Ultimum: Bring Ride Booking To Campus

Woken up with the flu or some other mystery illness and needed a ride to Dick’s House — yet opting, without a car, to trek 15 minutes through the snow with tissues and cough drops falling from your pockets?
