May 1, 2014

Despite the 2011 repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t” tell, which prohibited gay men and lesbians from openly serving in the armed services, current U.S. military policy allows for the dismissal of transgender service members.

What Do Tuckies Do For Fun?

By Maddie Brown | May 1, 2014

By Alex Carr | May 1, 2014

The beginning of May presents two milestones for the Dartmouth sailing team: one month until the ICSA championship and the thawing of Lake Mascoma. Over the next weeks, the team will have plenty of opportunities to fine-tune technique and break in a brand new fleet of boats as the women prepare to defend their national championship and the coed team looks to improve on last year’s third-place finish.
