Chase's D-Plan
What's a D-Plan?-
FallHanover, NH
Favorite Class: Marine PolicyAs someone who did not know the ins and outs of marine policy, I loved learning about aspects of the blue economy. This class encourages us to be aware of the human aspect of marine problems regarding coastal erosion, pollution, and climate change. Professor Webster is the coolest!
WinterHanover, NH
Favorite Class: From Beethoven to Now (Modern Classical Music)I could not recommend this class enough to anyone who goes to this school! Professor Beaudoin has truly influenced me as both a musician and a student. We learn the music from the 1800's to present day including famous composers like Tchaikovsky, but also music by Beyonce and even the music of Dartmouth's professors. This is much more than a music history class. It is a class about music, our lives, and exploring the concept of sonder through musical lens.
SpringHanover, NH
Favorite Class: Programming for Interactive Audio-Visual ArtsIf you're scared of coding or have a love for music, this is the class for you. This computer science class is cross-listed with music to teach students how to code using a language called processing to learn the basic principles of design through coding. We created several projects throughout the term, but Professor Casey really taught me that there is more to music than I think. For my final, I created an interactive keyboard which created a visual effect for each key that created music which made it a musical instrument! Genuinely such an amazing and fun class that I think people should consider.
SummerRome, Italy
Favorite Class: Reading RomeAlthough this class is only offered during the F.I.R.E. study abroad program, it was such an amazing class. I absolutely adored having Professor Canepa teach us about Italy from its politics, music, food, and much much more. This class taught me hands on what Italian culture is through visits to famous landmarks, food tastings, or tours of Italian regions. If you don't want to study abroad, I suggest taking a class with Professor Canepa because she truly is one of my favorite professors I have had yet.

FallHanover, New Hampshire
I was on an off term, but decided to live on campus to join a fraternity and work in town. I took the time to write music for one of my friend's short films and learned a lot about the film music industry.
WinterHanover, New Hampshire
Favorite Class: Creative Music Theory IIDr. Moseley has been one of my most favorite professors by far. I have loved taking this class to divulge into my musical passion through creating music and learning about ways to create music. If you are interested in taking a music class, I highly recommend Dr. Moseley if you find a class with him that interests you!
SpringVienna, Austria
Favorite Class: Special Studies Music Abroad FSPI took this class with composer Miguel Kertsman who was incredibly knowledgeable in every type of compositional technique that I wanted. I study electronic music composition with him to understand music digital signal processing better.
Applying Regular Decision
When I was planning out my college admissions process, I did not truly know exactly what I was looking for. Simply, I never understood why people are so passionate about being a Dartmouth student.
Taking a Break: Winterim
We often find ourselves in times where we feel immensely stressed, exhausted, or simply tired of our banal tasks. Relax and go take a break because you deserve it!
My Why Dartmouth
Dear prospective students,
I remember when I had to write my "Why Dartmouth" essay. However, I am actually going to describe why I actually decided to commit to Dartmouth and how my why for Dartmouth has changed.
DCWE Adventures
After many weeks of rehearsals and social events, the Dartmouth College Wind Ensemble (DCWE for short) had finally conquered its first live indoor performance in many months. Yay!
The Festivities of Fridays
Although you may think Hanover is a small town in the woods with nothing to do, you would be quite surprised. It's a small town with a lot of opportunities. What will you choose to do?
Dear South Carolina,
I miss you.
But is this New Hampshire place not super cool? No, I meant it has been lots of fun, not that it has been cold. Well, it's been a little cold sometimes but that's besides the point.
Is Dartmouth Scary?
No. Dartmouth is not scary! If you ask me what college academia feels like, I would say it feels like a grown up high school.
First-Year Trips: Canoe Dig It!
When my friends told me that college feels like summer camp at first, I did not understand what they meant.
