FallHanover, NH
Favorite Class: HIST 25.03: U.S. Empire Since 1945This course covers modern American history through an imperial lens. It was my first time learning about these topics and events in-depth, and I learned so much! The class focuses on small group discussions and having nuanced conversations about assigned readings. It was the perfect class for my first fall! I cannot recommend this class enough!
WinterHanover, NH
Favorite Class: ENGL 07.44: Reading Jane AustenThis course was my first-year seminar, a portion of the Dartmouth first-year writing sequence. In this class, we read four Jane Austen novels and discussed them as a class. The best part was our final project: creating an exhibit to be displayed in Baker-Berry Library! In partnership with Rauner Special Collections Library, we worked with Austen's first editions and designed an exhibit to celebrate Austen’s 250 Birthday.
SpringHanover, NH
Favorite Class: SOCY 11: Research MethodsThis course introduces different types of sociological research methods, which culminate in a final research proposal to explore the topic of your choice. I'm not a sociology major, so I was intimidated at first, but I fell in love with the class and the topics. I stepped outside my comfort zone, and I learned so much. I highly recommend it!
SummerWashington, D.C.
For my first off-term at Dartmouth, I spent the summer in Washington, D.C. as a First-Year Fellow through the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center for Public Policy at Dartmouth. I interned at the House of Representatives, where I met constituents, politicians, and legislative staffers who help run our country. I learned so much about policy issues close to my heart, like animal rights and climate change. I also had so much fun exploring D.C. with the other fellows and learning about our nation’s capital!

Favorite Class: ENGL 1: Literary History IThis course is a requirement for English majors and discusses literary history from the early 10th century to the mid-17th century. We read Beowulf, works from Chaucer and Spenser, and tales about King Arthur and his knights. I loved exploring the worlds of romance and fantasy, while also learning about the historical significance and influence of these works. This class was so fun and it was a great introduction to the English department!
