Recent conversations mark unique moment in College history

In the years following women’s arrival in Hanover classrooms, many say the dialogue surrounding sexual violence was stilted, allowing harassment and marginalization to slip into college culture without uproar. In recent years, however, the College has moved to bolster its resources to support survivors and bring sexual violence to the forefront of campus discussion.

A View from the Woods

By Kelly Wood | May 15, 2014

I vividly remember watching the women’s basketball team host then-No. 3 Duke University in the 2006 Blue Sky Classic. The heat and noise in sold-out Leede Arena was electric. The gym was alive, and cheers continued throughout the game despite the Big Green’s blowout 77-40 loss.\n When the men’s ice hockey team packs Thompson Arena for its annual home game against Princeton University, students turn out in droves to be part of our favorite tennis ball tradition.\n As NARPs, this is a way we can have a real influence on athletics. Athletes agree that they have more energy when they can feel the support of the crowd, and often play better because of it.

By Mitch Huang | May 14, 2014

Dartmouth’s roots in American cricket tradition extend back to the late 1700s, when one of the earliest recorded games of cricket in the U.S. was believed to be played on the Green. Since then, faculty and students have routinely gathered for casual matches, forming an informal group in the 1990s. In the past couple of years, the Dartmouth College Cricket Club has enjoyed a considerable amount of growth and recognition.
