About 

To all you prospies, parents, and plenty more, welcome! My name is Brian—I'm a double-major in Economics and Engineering Physics from a small town in northwestern CT. In my free time, I'm involved in rock climbing, Club Hockey, and writing for different publications across campus. Plus, I'm pretty heavily involved in my Greek House—something which I often tend to detail in my posts—and so I'm always happy to answer questions about the Dartmouth student life in all its different capacities!

Brian's D-Plan

What's a D-Plan?

    • FallOn Campus

      Favorite Class: PHYS 15 - Intro Physics, Honors

      An eye-opening physics experience filled with incredible demonstrations, intriguing apparatuses, mind-blowing lectures, and an awesome professor to tie it all together. Office hours were invaluable.

    • WinterOn Campus

      Favorite Class: WRIT 5.25 - The Art of the Interview: Primary Sources in the Age of Fake News

      The section I chose for Writing 5, the freshman writing seminar. It's helped me find a new interest in journalism, and I've traveled all around the Northeast to conduct interviews and write awesome articles.

      Favorite Class: ENGS 20 - Intro to Scientific Computing

      An awesome intro to engineering class where we learn to code in C and Matlab. It assumes no prior knowledge of coding and teaches some super valuable skills for learning other programming languages.

      Favorite Class: ENGS 21 - Intro to Engineering

      The premise of ENGS 21 is to jump right into the field of engineering by designing a product meant to improve quality of life for a target population. Many people have even gotten patents and started businesses from their groups in this class – it's an incredible opportunity and an amazing learning experience.

    • FallOn-Campus

      Favorite Class: ECON 20

      A class all about data and regressions, all I've learned in statistics actually applied to a carrying out real-time research questions—a great way to learn!
