Eva's D-Plan
What's a D-Plan?-
FallOn Campus
Favorite Class: ANTH 6: Introduction to Biological AnthropologyThis was a great exploratory class to take as an introduction to Dartmouth. I took it with Professor DeSilva, an extremely passionate individual who made this class incredibly engaging the whole way through! Coming into college I never would have expected my favorite class to have been about monkeys and early humans, but I discovered a deep interest in the evolution of reproduction.

Favorite Class: CHEM 5: General ChemistryComing from a background of little chem experience, this class was challenging, but fun! I learned a ton about the foundations of chemistry and their applications in the modern world. My favorite part of this class was the lab where I got to see what I was learning in class in real life. I'll be taking a lot more chemistry in the future and I feel a lot more comfortable with the material as well as how to study effectively.

Favorite Class: ENGS 12: Design ThinkingDesign Thinking for Engineering was an incredible class that completely restructured the way I make decisions. With an 100% project based course load, this class develops teamwork, positive attitudes, and an eye for design. Not only did I learn a lot, but it inspired me to pick up a minor in Human Centered Design.
SummerHome
I took my off term in the summer to work at a coffee shop close to home as a Barista. Ask me about where to get the best coffee on campus!

Favorite Class: SART 27: Printmaking 1My first art class and my favorite class yet! Under the instruction of a fantastic artist, I learned about many kinds of printing and made some incredible art to add to my portfolio. This is a great class for beginning artists and stood as a great start to my arts career at Dartmouth. The printmaking community within the arts department is incredibly supportive and full of talent.

Favorite Class: ENGS 21: Introduction to EngineeringImagine taking an engineering project from its ideation to creation all in 10 weeks: stressful, but an awesome experience! Paired with an incredible team of interdisciplinary majors, I worked on the development of an electronic kettlebell to "gamify" the workout experience.

Favorite Class: AAAS 31.50: Black Theatre WorkshopThis was an incredible theatre workshop taught by a known August Wilson scholar. We read all of August Wilson's plays over the course of this class and engaged in meaningful discussion about their meaning and significance.
SummerOn Campus
Favorite Class: THEA 65: Summer Theatre LabThe summer theater workshop is an experiential class that brings students and current artists together to work on collaborative projects. This class allowed me to expand greatly as an artist and create meaningful connections with people who are currently pursuing theater full time.

My Experience With Greek Life
There is a place for everyone here as long as you're willing to look for it!
A Comprehensive Review of Foco Late Night
Overall, Foco late night has great energy, great chatter, and great food. Though The Courtyard Cafe served me well for a year and a half, I'm more than happy to get used to all that this option has to offer.
Tech Week Among Finals
Tech week: the 7 days before opening night that every theater student dreads. Wondering how a college student manages it on top of deadlines, studying, and general adult life?
My Second Year in West House
Being in west house means community, a great group of people, and living in the gorgeous McLane dorm building.
Bridging between STEM and Theater
In a perfect combination of creativity, collaboration, and innovation, the theater department possesses everything I value as an engineering student.
What's In My Backpack
My most used item on campus by far is my L.L. Bean Quad Pack. Because I don't go anywhere without it, I've perfected its contents to perfectly accommodate my day-to-day life.
May In Pictures
May so far has been full of spending time with friends, FoCo ice cream, and enjoying the weather. If you're wondering what spring looks like at Dartmouth, look no further!
My Week 7 Summit
My weeks at Dartmouth are often full of back-to-back events and a constant rush of activity. For me, the best way to quell these negatives is to leave school behind and become one with the trees.
A Monday in the Life
Every Dartmouth experience is different and customizable, and I'd like to share a peek into the schedule I've created for myself here! Without any further introduction, let me lead you on an exciting journey in the life of Eva: Monday, May 2nd.
