Yes, my friends, it was time for the infamous Dartmouth snowball fight, where the entire college is summoned to the Green at midnight to have a massive snowball fight.
I actually shadowed there during my freshman winterim, as the deputy director is an alum and hosted a few students to visit the facilities and meet some of the people who work there.
Coming from a boarding school, I didn't get to work during the weekends. Coming into Dartmouth, I was excited at the prospect of being able to finally get into the workforce. There are many reasons why you would want to work.
My faith is a very important part of my identity. Starting in the fall, I decided to join two Christian groups: Christian Union and Apologia, the Christian thought magazine on campus.
Long time no see, Hanover. How long has it been? Six months and three days? Not that I've been counting, of course. Oh, who am I kidding? I couldn't wait to see you again! How have you been?
When I was trying to decide what to do with the eight week break I had from Dartmouth this winter, the first thing that came to my mind was to take a trip!
During finals week, I reached out to Colette Ellis '84, a life coach who aims to improve mental health in businesses and schools. She offered me a three-week externship at her company, Start Within Consulting LLC, in New York City.
It's officially 2020, and seeing as I won't be returning to Dartmouth until next September, I thought it would be fitting to reflect back on my past year (most of which was spent on-campus).
The reason I tell this story is to pretty much show that Dartmouth is somewhat of a "nerd sanctuary" — a place where people can do whatever and explore whatever passion they want.

For Dartmouth professors, teaching is a passion, a calling, a way of life. Mentorship is instinctive, one of the most rewarding aspects of their scholarship. Dartmouth faculty members are also pioneering researchers and influential thought-leaders. Their work with students helps them advance the frontier of knowledge and helps students advance their careers. Dartmouth classrooms are interactive, collaborative, discussion-based environments.
Sherman Fairchild Distinguished Professor in Digital Humanities
"Games are broadly interdisciplinary. They encompass computer science, psychology, sociology, music, art, neuroscience, and more. They're what the liberal arts are all about. We teach our students to think across disciplines. They develop their ability to attack problems, ask productive questions, and invent fresh solutions."
"One of the things I learned when I started teaching Introduction to Engineering —and when I took the course myself—was that you have to fail. My mentor, Fred Hooven, used to say: 'Fail early and often' because you learn from every failure. You don't learn if you don't fail, and you're not learning if you're not guided to understand those failures."
The Eunice and Julian Cohen Professor for the Study of Ethics and Human Values, Professor of Philosophy
"Dartmouth is a place where one can be valued as a complete person. I'm able to be a teacher-scholar here and bring my whole self to the task. It's due partly to the smallness of the place and to the fact that Dartmouth is fundamentally a liberal arts college but also a major research university."
Chair of the Jewish Studies Program, Eli Black Professorship of Jewish Studies
"The Dartmouth campus exudes a far greater sense of warmth than I've experienced anywhere else. Students help one another. They crave and foster community. They're fun. I enjoy spending time with them. I have ongoing conversations in my head, thinking of things they've said and the things I want to say when next we meet. "
"I enjoy guiding students on the path to discovery, whether it be undergrads with their first exposure to astronomy or Ph.D. students completing a thesis that makes a major contribution to the field. Dartmouth provides a unique opportunity for faculty who love working with undergraduates, but who also seek to carry out a world-class research program."
"The student experience is much more multifaceted than I ever understood as a faculty member and even as a house professor. As a social psychologist who's been interested in inequality, group interactions, well-being, and identity, I feel like I'm doing applied social psychology every day. It's a lot of fun."
