While I am having an unbelievably great time studying at the University of Edinburgh this term, I can't help but miss Dartmouth a little.

As a freshman with no clear idea about what I want to major in, I applied to WISP to see what it would be like to work as a scientist in a specific field (my interests lay around Earth Sciences, Computer Science, Physics, and Astronomy).

This summer I took one of my favorite classes to date: a history seminar called Race, Ethnicity, and Immigration in US History.

Whether you’re trying to articulate your love for the “College on the Hill” in one 100-word essay or deciding if you want to apply to Dartmouth at all, I hope this can elucidate why I applied to Dartmouth (and why you should too)!

Many Dartmouth students feel the need to go above and beyond not only academically, but also socially and in other undertakings such as sports, student organizations like dance or acapella groups, and extracurricular clubs.

Trips may be long-completed, but the memories I made at Moosilauke Lodge and on the trails will stick with me for the rest of my years here.

Sometimes I get asked about the legacy I think I’ll leave at Dartmouth. My answer always begins with one thing: the pineapple.

How many schools (not of fish) do you know where you can just decide to take a fishing trip on a normal Sunday? There's someFIN about it that just fascinates me... care to know more?

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.

Colin Calloway
Professor of History and Native American Studies
"I’ve spent most of my life working on Native American history because ultimately it means rethinking the history of this continent. There’s no better place to do it than a college with its own Indian history, with an ongoing commitment to Native education and Native American studies, and with Native students in all my classes."

Hua-Yuan Mowry
Associate Professor of Asian and Middle Eastern Languages and Literatures
"As the world becomes smaller, our classrooms expand. One of the main goals of a liberal arts education is to prepare our undergraduates to welcome the various challenges they will face in our ever-shrinking world, inhabited by racially, culturally, linguistically different peoples."

Erich Osterberg
Associate Professor of Earth Sciences
"In the classroom, I strive to let my enthusiasm for science, the Earth, and the environment guide my teaching. It’s amazing to work with such bright and engaged students every day. My favorite moments are when a student tells me, “I took this class for a distributive requirement—I never thought I would love Earth science!"

Xia Zhou
Associate Professor of Computer Science
"I see my role in teaching and mentoring students as someone who opens the door to an area, shows them the wonders, excites them, and then guides them through their self-driven exploration in the area. Motivation and passion are the best teacher, so I strive to motivate students by exposing them to the latest research and influential ideas in the field."

Jennifer Miller
Assistant Professor of History
"I try to give students not only historical knowledge and awareness, but also the tools to carefully evaluate evidence and arguments, to look beyond obvious answers, and to reflect fairly and seriously on the legacies of U.S. foreign policy for the contemporary world. I love teaching at Dartmouth because of the interaction between teaching and research."
