Hi! My name is Emma and I'm a sophomore on the Dartmouth Triathlon Team. I love drinking tea while studying at One Wheelock, spending way too much money at Collis Market, and am always on the hunt for new vegetarian options on campus. When I'm not studying or training, find me trying to learn how to ski or hanging out in Left Bank Books. I'm passionate about feminist activism and women's empowerment in athletics, and my favorite foods are banana bread and mozzarella sticks.
Academic Program
WGSS and PSYC double major with a minor in Studio Art
This class looked at food from every possible angle: agriculture, regulation/policy, marketing,
nutrition, animal rights, and much more. This class drastically changed the way I think about
food and where it comes from.
Professor Ayubi is one of the best professors in the WGST department and led an incredible
class on themes of gender/sexuality in Islam. Even those not interested in religion as a major
couldn't help but be fascinated in this class.
This class was intense in that it revealed systems of oppression and violence that exist all
around us. The objective of the nal project was to make a difference in public awareness of
those systems.
SummerOff Campus
For most of the summer I worked at a day camp, but the most important part of my summer
was the weeks I spent in Haiti, visiting the little boy I hope to adopt at the orphanage where he
lives. It is and has been the highlight of my last 4 summers.
Drawing I is an opportunity for students without much experience in the visual arts to get
comfortable in the studio. It's time consuming, but a great creative outlet, and the results at the
end of the term are worth it.
The focus on both global current events and Dartmouth-specific feminist issues covered in this class made for an engaging curriculum for both newcomers and veterans to the WGSS department.
This class takes a closer look at militarization and it's effects on gendered violence around the world in the context of the American attempt to declare a "War on Terror."
There are so many different academic departments at Dartmouth, and as an undergrad, you have the ability to mix and match from a lot of them over your 12 terms.
Hello, I am incoming 22 and I'm very interested in learning languages, but I noticed that Dartmouth doesn't offer any Korean language courses. Are there any resources for learning a language not taught directly by Dartmouth faculty?
A:
Hi! If you’re interested in learning certain languages that aren’t officially offered at Dartmouth, it is likely that there is a club or organization for that language that you can join.
If you're reading this, you are likely either a brand new incoming Dartmouth student or a parent of said student. If you're an incoming freshman, we (me, the bloggers, everyone else on campus) are so pumped to meet you!
It's really too bad that the Studio Art (SART) department at Dartmouth has a reputation for being time-consuming and "too much work." Many students only find themselves in the Black Family Visual Arts Center (BVAC) once during their four years of
When I first heard about the tradition of First Year Trips - where Dartmouth sends a bunch of freshmen out into the woods to do a variety of outdoor activities together before anyone has even met before - I was very intimidated.
When I came to Dartmouth, I walked on to the Varsity Swimming and Diving team. I wanted to continue competing in the sport I had loved all throughout high school, and I wanted to do it at the highest level possible.
Finals approach. Stress is in the air. Good spots in the library are becoming more and more difficult to come by, and KAF lines seem to stretch for miles.
Unpopular Dartmouth opinion: I am not a huge fan of the cold. I don't know how to ski or snowboard, and I think it's absolutely frigid when the temps drop below 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
