Bio 

Here on campus, most people know me as "Jul"! I am a Religion major who is interested in eventually working in the field of law. At Dartmouth, I am a sister of Alpha Phi, a current member of the varsity Track and Field team, and also played a year on the varsity Basketball team. When I'm on campus, my favourite things to do are get breakfast at Lou's and go to football games. When I'm not on campus, my favourite things to do are travel and visit my family and friends.

Julianna's D-Plan

What's a D-Plan?

    • FallOn Campus

      Favorite Class: HIST 003: Europe in Medieval and Early Modern Times

      My favourite part about this class was the structure of it! Three times a week, we had a large class lecture. Then, our x-hour was used for a small group discussion with our professor.

    • WinterOn Campus

      Favorite Class: ENGS 002: Integrated Design: Engineering, Architecture and Building Technology

      I loved how interactive this class was. Tt was a lecture based class, but we often had in-class building activities and one large project - building a cardboard chair!

    • SpringOn Campus

      Favorite Class: EDUC 001: The Learning Brain: Introduction to Child Development and Education

      Our professor made the class! Professor Tine was so enthusiastic about the content and material in this course, that it made me excited to come to class and learn eachday

    • SummerTraveling

      I spend my first year summer at home with my family and travelling to visit old friends, new friends from Dartmouth, and extended family members. I spent a lot of my summer down south in Florida and Georgia, escaping the Canadian cold.

    • FallOn Campus

      Favorite Class: REL 60: Protestant Reformations.

      Sophomore fall I was on campus taking classes and training for the upcoming Track and Field season. My favourite class was taught by 3 different professors from 3 different departments, looking at the Protestant Reformation from an art history angle, music angle, and of course religious perspective.

    • WinterOn Campus

      Favorite Class: SART 65: Architecture 1

      I spent sophomore winter on campus in Hanover taking four classes and competing in our indoor track and field season. The most interesting class that I took this term was an introduction architecture class where we actually got to build things in the wood shop!

    • SpringOn Campus

      Favorite Class: REL 32.06: Jewish Views of Christianity

      This spring was a busy one for me in Hanover! I competed for our school's varsity track and field team and took three classes, two of which satisfied requirements for my major. My favourite class was "Jewish Views of Christianity", which was cross-listed in the Religion, History and Jewish Studies departments.

    • SummerOn Campus

      It's my sophomore summer! However, instead of taking classes, I'm on campus interning with the Alumni Relations office. Stay tuned to my blog posts for more updates.

    • FallAbroad

      While fall is my favourite time at Dartmouth, I decided to spend this term abroad studying at the University of Edinburgh's New College School of Divinity. I took three classes and spent my extra time exploring Europe!

    • WinterOn Campus

      Favorite Class: GEOG 54: Geovisualization

      This term I am back home in Hanover! I will be taking four classes and competing for the Dartmouth track and field team. I look forward to the beautiful Hanover winter scenery and spending some time skiing on the slopes.

    • SpringOn Campus

      Favorite Class: ENGL 55.12: Dartmouth Fictions

      Spring term means the start of outdoor track and field for my team and a number of fun outdoor activities! Follow along as I take three interdisciplinary classes and continue exploring the beautiful Upper Valley.

    • SummerOn Campus

      This summer I am stepping into my new role as a Senior Fellow here at the Admissions Office. Each day, I get to speak with prospective students and their families about Dartmouth College. Don't worry though, I'll still be blogging!

    • FallOn Campus

      Favorite Class: Religion, Politics and the Presidency

      I can't believe that I am starting my senior year here at the College! The past three years have flown by, and I'm so excited for my last full year on campus. Fall is my favorite time of year - I'll spend this term taking three classes, training for track and field, and spending as much time outside as possible. From coding in the humanities to the religion of Ancient Egypt, I'm looking forward to sharing my academic and extracurricular adventures with you this term!

6 Favourite Sports Games I Went to This Fall

With so many of the Big Green athletic teams competing this term, it's hard to decide which games and matches to attend each weekend. I've compiled a list of the top 6 home games I've been to, so far, this fall:​

  1. No. 1

    Football vs. Holy Cross

    An incredible overtime win in football’s home-opener, the Big Green took down Holy Cross 27-26.  “It was a great game because we never gave up and we never stopped believing we could win,” said offensive lineman, Phil Berton ’19. His teammate, Gage Guerra, added that “the win against Holy Cross felt so great because we battled through adversity against a high quality team. It was awesome to win in front of the fans in our home opener.” This was a fun game to be at because of the atmosphere of the student section!

  2. No. 2

    Women’s Volleyball vs. Columbia

    The volleyball team’s Ivy League home-opener resulted in a 3-0 win over Columbia. The Big Green played incredible defence in front of a supportive crowd at Leede Arena. Carly Tower ’20 said that “it was a great game because we really played together as a team and came out strong. The fan support was incredible and the atmosphere in Leede Arena was eletric."

  3. No. 3

    Men’s Hockey vs. Windsor

    The men’s hockey team played an exhibition game against the University of Windsor from Canada. They came away with a 2-1 win. Clay Han ’20, who plays defence, was excited about the game. He commented that, “For our first game against another team, I thought we were able to make a lot of good plays both offensively and defensively. I believe that from our goalies, to our defence, and all the way up to our forwards, we were able to play a solid 60 minutes of hockey.”

  4. No. 4

    Women’s Rugby vs. Army

    Although the Rugby team played Army last year, they were much better prepared this season. Coming off of an awesome win against Quinnipiac, the team was ready for Army. Changing their game plan, they “let it fly” and opened up on the wings. “That gave us an advantage over them and it was super fun rugby to play and watch all around. Working off that game though, we got ranked #1 but we know to work like we are #2 and never let up,” said an excited Jules Wheaton ’19, who plays prop.

  5. No. 5

    Women’s Soccer vs. Quinnipiac:

    Coming out with great momentum, the Big Green scored 4 goals in the first half alone. Not only was there a great crowd in the stands, “the team was dominating all over the field. It was early in the season, so it was nice to see things begin to click,” added team member Hayley Soriano ’20.

  6. No. 6

    Football vs. Yale

    Here’s me and my friends at the football game against Holy Cross!

    In front of a packed Memorial Field, this year’s Homecoming football game did not disappoint. Down 24-7 at halftime, the Big Green had a lot of work to do to come back. However, the team fought back in front of an excited crowd of students, family and alumni. Team captain, Jack Heneghan ’18, commented that, “It’s exciting to have a lot of fans out during Homecoming and we are grateful for the support.” Teammate, Isaiah Swann ’20, added, “It was one of the best games I have ever been apart of. We did what we needed to do defensively in the second half to win the game and the offence came through with big plays to finish them off.”
