Hey everyone! I'm Cooper from Wayne, Pennsylvania, which is right outside of Philadelphia. I am a '28 here at Dartmouth, and plan on studying Quantitative Social Science and Cognitive Science. In my free time, I love getting food with friends, playing pickleball, watching sitcoms (personal favorite is Modern Family), and going on walks. I am super excited to be here and cannot wait to take you along my journey at Dartmouth!
I took this class with Professor Binkoski, and I absolutely loved it! We explored numerous theories regarding time travel and the existence of time, and it just completely blew my mind. Professor Binkoski is such an engaging lecturer and explains everything so thoroughly, which makes the class so incredible! After taking this class, I have become more interested in philosophy and cannot wait to take more classes in this department.
I took this class with Professor Horiuchi and learned more than I could have possibly imagined! This course is incredibly challenging and has a good amount of work, but I learned so much about the programing language R as well as how to wrangle and visualize data. By taking this class, I have confirmed that I want to major in QSS because of how interesting the material was. If you want to enhance your skills in R, this is the class to take!
The temperatures are warming, the vibes on campus are just incredible, and I am already having so much fun. This term, I hope to do some new things that I think will make this term the most memorable one yet!
I definitely hope to have even more fun this term than the previous terms. With the weather getting warmer and the sun coming out, I hope to be on the Green much more, whether it be doing homework, talking with friends, or playing games such as Spikeball! Of course I want to continue to do well in my classes, but taking breaks and going outside will definitely help me be more productive and successful overall.
I am Co-President of Dartmouth Civics this term, so another goal I have is to increase civic engagement around campus this term! There are a lot of events taking place with regards to elections and civics this term, so I hope to get as many people involved on campus as possible. I am super excited to be leading a club, and I have so many things that I want to accomplish!

And finally, I hope to utilize the outdoors here. Because the weather is going to be so much better this term, I am super excited to go to the river, go on hikes, and possibly go on some DOC trips! During fall term, I went to the river a few times and it was truly incredible, so I cannot wait to do it again this term. I definitely want to go on a sunrise hike (or a sunrike) or go on an overnight trip with the DOC. I feel as though I missed out on these opportunities during the other two terms, so Spring term is certainly going to be the term to do all of this!
The beautiful river!
These are just some of the many goals I have, and I am super excited to see where this term takes me!
In my freshman year, I wrote a blog revisiting my decision of attending Dartmouth College. Now that more than a year has passed, I would love to revisit my decision again, with a more realistic lens.
DCSI is a hub of resources and opportunities for students looking to give back and make an impact in their communities. Here's an overview of just some of the programs they run!
As a practicing Christian, my faith has always been the foundation of my life. Coming into college, I didn't want to lose that essential part of my identity. I wanted to deepen it. That's when I found Cru — and it changed everything.
