BROWN: Brown University held its admitted student program, A Day on College Hill, last weekend from April 14-16. The program incorporated events previously included in Third World Welcome, which invited accepted students of color to campus a day earlier. The weekend included department-organized lectures, opportunities to sit in on classes, and artistic and cultural events. The Brown Daily Herald reported that 823 of 2,649 students accepted to the class of 2017 attended the program.
BROWN: After pressure from an immigrant rights group on campus, Brown University’s financial aid policy for undocumented students is now clearly stated on the Office of Financial Aid’s website. Even though Brown has offered need-aware financial aid to undocumented students since 2006, the related information is still not easily accessible to all students, according to the Brown Daily Herald. Coinciding with immigration reform imminent in Congress and President Barack Obama’s executive order for deferred action for childhood arrivals, the update allows Brown applicants to be more aware of the University’s stance on financial aid.
Interim President Carol Folt will be leaving the College to serve as the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's chancellor on July 1st. The news was announced this morning.
BROWN: The Brown Daily Herald recently published the results of its annual spring student poll, which surveyed students about their political opinions, views on university policy, sex and drug use habits, among other topics. The poll found that 82 percent of Brown students “strongly agreed” that same-sex marriage should be legalized in the state of Rhode Island. Results also found that about two-thirds of students think that the university should offer the option of pursuing a minor, and that 85 percent of students consumed alcohol in the past year.
As the nation remains gripped by the gay marriage debates currently being heard by the Supreme Court, government professor Sonu Bedi offered his academic expertise to the issue in a high-profileeditorial published on March 26 in the Huffington Post.
For many college kids, spring break is a time to catch up on sleep and “The Vampire Diaries” at home or relax with a fruity drink in a tropical locale. Yet many Dartmouth students gave up their opportunity this spring to kick back over interim in favor of giving back to the community.
BROWN: Police officers and family members continue to search for Brown University student Sunil Tripathi ’12, who has been missing for over a week. Last seen two Saturdays ago, Tripathi left “a note suggestive of suicidal intent” along with his wallet and credit cards at his apartment before his disappearance, according to the Brown Daily Herald. The FBI has joined the search, the Daily Herald reported. A Facebook page, titled “Help Us Find Sunil Tripathi,” is created to help raise awareness of Tripathi’s disappearance by compiling all the available information.
BROWN: A campus-wide stomach virus at Brown University was determined by the Rhode Island Department of Health to be a norovirus, according to the Brown Daily Herald. Brown’s Health Services office contacted the Department of Health last week after observing a sharp increase in the number of students with gastrointestinal symptoms. State laboratory tests confirmed two cases as testing positive for norovirus, which was sufficient to classify the circumstance as a norovirus outbreak. Noroviruses cause the majority of nonbacterial gastroenteritis worldwide.
Former College President Jim Yong Kim, currently president of the World Bank, can now add blogging for The Huffington Post to his resume. So far, his posts have focused on improving economic and human rights issues in the Third World that speeches delivered during his time at Dartmouth often mentioned. The first article, published on February 5, “What Can We Learn from Expensive Chicken Wings on Super Bowl Sunday?” discusses the future of food insecurity in the face of global warming and a growing global population. By 2050, Kim writes, food production will need to increase by 70 percent in order to feed the global population of nine billion. While agricultural production remains unsustainable, improvement of practices and more research could offer hope for the seemingly unstable future, Kim writes.
On March 12th, after over two months of living in Peru, I will finally be heading back to the good old United States of America. It’s hard to begin to reflect on my time here, partially because I still have a little over a week left, but also because I don’t think I will truly realize the effect life in Ollantaytambo has had on me until I get back and let some time pass by. However, one thing that is clear is how much I’m going to miss my Peruvian family, students, co-workers and friends, who were all such a significant part of my experience here.
Two years ago, Syrians took to the streets to demand that their government stop torturing student activists. Today, the country is embroiled in a civil war, with 70,000 rebels and civilians killed and President Bashar Al-Assad still clinging to power. This week Dartbeat Asks: Should the U.S. send direct military aid to the opposition groups?
BROWN: Students at Brown University have established the Student Conduct Information Service to provide assistance to students accused of disciplinary violations by the University. SCIS aims to serve as an “informational resource” to students facing Academic Code or Code of Conduct hearings, according to the Brown Daily Herald. The group will hire its inaugural team of undergraduate members this spring, and hopes to be fully operational next year.
I often hear my peers complain about how there is no frozen yogurt in Hanover. Ever since the first Pinkberry opened in 2005, fro-yo has gained a cult-like following. It’s one of those foods that’s just plain fun to eat, especially when you serve yourself and add your own toppings.
On Feb. 4 to 7, 16 undergraduate and graduate students from across the nation participated in the National Biodiesel Conference and Expo. Morgan Curtis ’14, an avid biodiesel promoter, went as part of this group through her position as co-chair for the National Biodiesel Board’s Next Generation Scientists for Biodiesel program.
BROWN: After accepting a $3 million donation from an anonymous donor, Brown University will renovate the John Hay Library this coming summer. The Brown Daily Herald reported that the renovations would feature a new main reading room, cameras, an improved security system and an additional student lounge area. The multimillion-dollar gift came at a crucial time for the library’s remodeling project. Selldorf Architects will lead the renovation.
I don’t have a sweet tooth, but I still love to bake for my friends and for fun. Giving them something homemade beats anything you can buy in a store. Last week, I started talking to my friends about hosting a baking session, but told them that the ingredients could only come from Collis Market and they all agreed that the main ingredient had to be Oreo cookies.
One of my fondest memories from DOC First-Year Trips does not involve digging up pineapple Canadian Ground Fruit, hiking to the Top of Holt’s Ledge on the Appalachian Trail or yum-yumming apple crisp. Instead, one moment that sticks out occurred while on the bus ride from the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge back to campus, when I was simultaneously fighting to stay awake and attempting to take as shallow of breaths as possible to combat the BO stench wafting off everyone save for the bus driver. My eyes half-open, I fantasized about taking the longest shower of my life and eating a meal that didn’t consist of yogurt-covered raisins and Cabot cheese.
