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 Psychology. 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!
In order to fulfill my language requirement, I took Spanish 9 with Professor Rieumont. This class was simply incredible. Not only was the content interesting and engaging, but my actual class itself (both the professor and fellow students) made this class so memorable. We learned so much about Spanish-speaking cultures all while having so much fun doing it, and I am so grateful that I took this class with such an amazing group!

I was home for the summer! I was able to catch up with family and friends, work at a local ice-cream shop, and relax for a few months. It was amazing to be back in my hometown!!
I took this class with Professor Emily Finn, and I absolutely adored it! Because it is an introductory class, you learn about various topics within the neuroscience field, but mainly at the surface level. It was incredibly interesting, and it is a perfect introduction to the major overall!
I took this class with Professor Pulju (who I also took LING 1 with), and I was blown away. Not only is the content in this class just so incredibly interesting, but Professor Pulju teaches it in such a way that makes studying for any assignment actually enjoyable. If you like puzzles and deductive sciences, this class is perfect for you!
I took this with Professor Wray, and I was in awe of how much I learned in this class. Although the name sounds a bit confusing, this is essentially an introductory statistics class with a focus on psychological research. We learned how to form hypotheses, run statistical tests, and reach conclusions, and I know that this will be incredibly useful for future courses in both Psychology and Quantitative Social Science!
Hello everyone and welcome back! It is already Week 6 of our Spring term here at Dartmouth, which is absolutely insane to think about. This term has definitely gone by the quickest! I decided to devote this blog towards one of my favorite activities on campus, which is Dartmouth Civics. This club is all about promoting civic engagement through voting in elections, and we strive to ensure that every eligible voter at Dartmouth gets their vote out! There are many wonderful aspects of this club that I want to highlight, so come with me as I tell you my favorite parts!
Events:The first thing I love so much about Dartmouth Civics are the events that we run. These range from guest speakers across the country related to the government to registration drives for upcoming elections. In the past few weeks, we had Professor Muirhead come and speak about voting bills in New Hampshire and had an ice cream truck for students while we educated them about how to vote in the Hanover town election. It is always so great to see so many people come to these events to further understand how they can be civically engaged.

Connections: Another incredible part about being in this organization are the connections you make with professionals in the fields related to civic engagement. We get to work with so many incredible staff associated with the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center for Public Policy and also with the many guests we invite for speaker events. One notable example of this is when we invited Gen-Z legislators from New Hampshire to speak, and we got to have a meal with them as well. It is so incredible to form such meaningful connections through these organizations.

People: And finally, the people of Dartmouth Civics are simply the best. I have met so many passionate and kind people through this club, and I can now call many of them my close friends! Through social programming, we have many dinners and activities outside of the club meeting itself to further our friendships, which has been incredibly meaningful for me. It is so nice to know that I have a fantastic support system through this club as well.

Dartmouth Civics is truly a one-of-a-kind experience, and I cannot recommend joining it enough!
Thanks to West House, one of the housing communities I'm part of, I got the chance to go on an overnight trip to New York City. Read on to hear all about the experience!
After three terms apart due to Dartmouth's D-plan, junior spring marks a joyful reunion with old friends, deepened by the Toulouse study abroad group that has carried their bond seamlessly back to campus.
