Martin's D-Plan
What's a D-Plan?-
FallHanover, NH
Favorite Class: BIOL 16: EcologyIn this course, we covered all the basics of ecology: how organisms interact with each other and with their ecosystems. My favorite parts of the class were the labs: they took place outside and we explored ecological concepts around campus!
WinterHanover, NH
Favorite Class: EARS 21: Transforming Energy SystemsThis course was on everything energy: how we use it, how we generate it, and how we can improve our current energy systems in light of climate change. We visited nearby energy systems, including Dartmouth's very own heating and energy facilities. This course was awesome!
Why You Should Choose Dartmouth
If you're an admitted student, Dartmouth chose you. Here's why you should choose Dartmouth, in my opinion.

The Beauty of a New England Winter
Growing up in New England and transitioning to living at Dartmouth, I'm all too familiar with the unpredictability (and beauty) of New England's weather. Let me tell you about it here!
My Classes this Winter (24W): Physics 13, Environmental Ethics, Energy Systems, and Writing 5 (Authenticity)
As my first winter term comes to an end, I wanted to provide some thoughts and reflections on my classes this term. Perhaps you'll find something you'd like to take someday!

Transforming Energy Systems (EARS 21) and Dartmouth's Energy Future
This term, I've been taking a class called "Transforming Energy Systems: Keeping the Lights on While Saving the Planet." It's an awesome class where we've been taking field trips and learning about Dartmouth's energy future. Read more about it here!
Powder Day at the Dartmouth Skiway!
Dartmouth College owns and operates its own skiway… the Dartmouth Skiway! Today, I visited for the first time. Read about what it's like to have slopes so close to campus!
The Irving Institute's First-Year Fellows Program: Fall Term
This term, I joined the Dartmouth Irving Institute's First-Year Fellows program, a new initiative designed to help first-year students get involved with sustainable energy at Dartmouth. Read about it here!
My Classes this Fall (23F): Ecology, Sociology, and Spanish
As my first term at Dartmouth comes to an end, I wanted to provide some thoughts and reflections on my classes this term. Take a look... maybe you'll find something you'd like to take!
A Look Inside of Biology 16: My Ecology Lab!
Many STEM courses at Dartmouth have a "Lab" component. What does this mean? Take a look inside of one of the STEM "Lab" courses here: Ecology! This week, we investigated Aquatic Invertebrates in local streams.
