“Merrily We Roll Along” will play this weekend

By Kourtney Kawano | May 5, 2015

In a time when most students are focused on acing their midterms or finding that perfect summer internship, have we given ourselves the chance to take a moment to stop and reflect about our past decisions, such as why we chose to come to the College in the first place and how we chose the career paths we want to pursue? Those deep questions about everything we sacrifice in order to achieve success will be explored when the College’s theater department presents “Merrily We Roll Along” (1981), a musical based on the 1934 eponymous play by George Kaufman and Moss Hart with music and lyrics by Academy- and Tony-Award winning composer Stephen Sondheim, this weekend.

Beyond the Bubble: PRIDE and prejudice

By Andrea Nease | May 4, 2015

Considering the College is in the process of wrapping up PRIDE week festivities, I thought it would be appropriate to look at the presence and representation of queer individuals in popular media in 2015 compared to decades past. PRIDE week serves as a time of recognition, commemoration and celebration of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community. This focus on non-heterosexual orientations also helps to educate the public on what I think has been appropriately termed “the new normal.”

#DartmouthIAmHere campaign aims to showcase socioeconomic diversity

By Rebecca Asoulin | May 3, 2015

Ramtin Rahmani ’16 said he keeps thinking back to one anecdote submitted as part of the #DartmouthIamHere campaign — a new project using student submissions to showcase socioeconomic diversity on campus — where the student wrote about how at the end of each College tour he gives, he mentions that he is the first person from his family to attend college. This act, Ramtin noted, is this student’s way of expressing that there is diversity on campus.
