Bio 

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.

Emma Rodriguez's D-Plan

What's a D-Plan?

    • FallOn Campus

      Favorite Class: WRIT 5 - Food For Thought

      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.

    • WinterOn Campus

      Favorite Class: WGSS - Gender in Islam

      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.

    • SpringOn Campus

      Favorite Class: WGST 16 - Contemporary Issues in Feminism

      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.

    • FallOn Campus

      Favorite Class: SART - Drawing 1

      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.

    • WinterOn Campus

      Favorite Class: WGST 41.05 - Gender and Violence: A Transnational Feminist Analyses

      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.

    • SpringOn Campus

      Favorite Class: WGSS - Gender and the Global War on Terror

      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."

Secret Fun Stuff To Do on Campus

Some prospies are a little shocked with how small the town of Hanover seems when they visit, and worry that there won't be enough things to do in their free time. First, I'd just like to let you know that you definitely won't have the amount of free time that you think you will with classes, extracurriculars, research, and lab or drill, but if you do end up with enough free time and energy to be bored, here is a list of some low-key cool things you can find at Dartmouth. I hope you take advantage of them early, because I just found out about some of these recently and I wish I had known sooner!

  1. No. 1

    Jewelry Studio

    Hidden in the basement of the HOP, the jewelry studio is open to students to learn how to make their own jewelry. You can pay for materials using your DA$H and take home your creations when you're finished. Jewelry studio staff are always available to help you if you don't have a lot of experience with jewelry making.

  2. No. 2

    Ceramics Studio and Woodshop

    Very similar to the Jewelry Studio in location (basement of the HOP) and logistics (you pay for materials with DA$H and get to keep your creations), the Ceramics Studio and the Woodshop are open to all students to learn how to throw and glaze pots or build any sort of wooden contraption you can imagine.

  3. No. 3

    Student Wellness Center

    Student Wellness HQ is in Robo and offers a massage chair, safe sex bar, and more, but the Student Wellness Center also offers free activities for students like yoga classes, puppy-petting de-stressing sessions, lots of free food, and wellness classes like Koru Mindfulness and meditation. I personally recommend the Koru Mindfulness class.

  4. No. 4

    The HOP

    The HOP is a super convenient resource for entertainment for students. There are constantly different plays, dance performances, a cappella shows, improv groups, and movies being shown at the HOP for free or super low cost.

  5. No. 5

    Housing Community Events

    All of the housing communities offer events during the term such as interesting speakers, free community dinners, crafty events like building terrariums or painting pottery, and de-stressing events like massages.
