Jack's D-Plan
What's a D-Plan?-
FallOn Campus
Favorite Class: SOCY 20: Sex, Death, and MigrationThis class was an overview on demographic trends across the world, and it's the course that got me interested in my current academic focus! I enjoyed the fact that this class was discussion based, so I was able to engage in conversations about different social factors and relationships that affect population changes in global societies.
WinterBoston, MA
Favorite Class: THEA 30: Acting 1I never thought I'd enjoy doing theater online but this class fully exceeded all expectations I had in mind. I was able to learn new techniques and was forced to think about aspects of performance that I never had to worry about when on stage. The technological stage was definitely an interesting hurdle, but it strengthened my abilities as a performer overall.

Favorite Class: ENVS 28: Global Environmental HealthBeside it being my first in-person class at Dartmouth, I have enjoyed the case-based structure of this course. Professor Roebuck delivers the content in small units of environmental health problems, which are all applicable to specific cases and situations. This makes the material extremely interesting and thought-provoking, leading to an incredible class.
SummerNew York, NY
I spent my summer interning for a theater education company that offered technical skill sessions to teenagers, all taught by industry professionals. I learned a lot more about the ins and outs of the theater industry, due to the immersive setting of the position.

Favorite Class: EARS 14: MeteorologyI originally took this class to fulfill my lab distributive requirement, but it ended up proving to be a super interesting course! I have always been fascinated by storms and weather, so learning the processes behind these phenomena and patterns was deeply interesting for me. While I am not planning on studying Earth sciences any further, this specific course was memorable for all the good reasons!

Favorite Class: SOCY 16: Constructing Social TheoryThis class was a constant reminder of my love for sociology. Professor Kim was a genuine, kind, excellent professor and lecturer, and all of the material was deeply interesting. Some past classes that are reading-heavy have fallen short in finding invigorating readings that I was actively excited to explore, and I enjoyed every single article and discussion for this course. Exploring contemporary theorists' works, this class was a 10/10.
Sophomore Summer Reflections
For my return to blogging after quite the hiatus, I thought I'd share some of my experiences from this past summer in Hanover.
Taking my Professor to Lunch!
Here's a reflection on my experience taking my computer science professor out for a free meal paid for by the school!
Being Gay at Dartmouth
I was worried how my college experience would be affected by my LGBTQ identity, so here's a brief reflection of how it's been at Dartmouth.
What School Is Right For Me?
It's decision time, and you're probably terrified. This is why I picked Dartmouth and how you should pick the school right for you!
Where Have You Been?
While I've been on a blogging hiatus, I've been busy elsewhere on campus. I thought I'd reflect on my new involvements in both the arts and STEM at Dartmouth. (Cover photo taken by Eli Burakian '00)
My Rush Experience
Part of my sophomore fall has involved rushing and getting involved with Greek Life. Now that it's finished, I thought I'd take some time to reflect on this experience.
Taking STEM Classes As a Non-STEM Student
This term, I'm taking 2 STEM classes, which has been an unexpected but enriching experience!
It's Okay to Slow Down: Reflections on my Summer Break
Spending the last summer off campus led to extremely fulfilling experiences and taught me a lot about myself and my life.
Some of my Favorite Spots in Hanover
Here are a few of my personal favorite areas to spend time in when I'm on campus!
Working in Theater Virtually
Even in a pandemic, I've had opportunities to work in theater this term, and I'm extremely grateful for what it's taught me. (Photo by Russell Chai '24)
