I am a Religion major and an Education minor who is interested in eventually working in the field of law. At Dartmouth, I am a sister of Alpha Phi, a current member of the varsity Track and Field team, and also played a year on the varsity Basketball team. When I'm on campus, my favourite things to do are get breakfast at Lou's and go to football games. When I'm not on campus, my favourite things to do are travel and visit my family and friends.
My favourite part about this class was the structure of it! Three times a week, we had a large class lecture. Then, our x-hour was used for a small group discussion with our professor.
I loved how interactive this class was. Tt was a lecture based class, but we often had in-class building activities and one large project - building a cardboard chair!
Our professor made the class! Professor Tine was so enthusiastic about the content and material in this course, that it made me excited to come to class and learn eachday
SummerTraveling
I spend my first year summer at home with my family and travelling to visit old friends, new friends from Dartmouth, and extended family members. I spent a lot of my summer down south in Florida and Georgia, escaping the Canadian cold.
Sophomore fall I was on campus taking classes and training for the upcoming Track and Field season. My favourite class was taught by 3 different professors from 3 different departments, looking at the Protestant Reformation from an art history angle, music angle, and of course religious perspective.
I spent sophomore winter on campus in Hanover taking four classes and competing in our indoor track and field season. The most interesting class that I took this term was an introduction architecture class where we actually got to build things in the wood shop!
This spring was a busy one for me in Hanover! I competed for our school's varsity track and field team and took three classes, two of which satisfied requirements for my major. My favourite class was "Jewish Views of Christianity", which was cross-listed in the Religion, History and Jewish Studies departments.
SummerOn Campus
It's my sophomore summer! However, instead of taking classes, I'm on campus interning with the Alumni Relations office. Stay tuned to my blog posts for more updates.
FallAbroad
While fall is my favourite time at Dartmouth, I decided to spend this term abroad studying at the University of Edinburgh's New College School of Divinity. I will be taking three classes and spending my extra time exploring Europe!
I have officially decided my favourite part of studying abroad - traveling. Here's why.
The more I explore the world, the more I appreciate my liberal arts education. Whether it's understanding the historical political situation of a country thanks to my history class, or being able to converse with locals in France because of our language requirement, Dartmouth's liberal arts education is preparing me for a global life. And while learning in the classroom in Hanover is an incredible opportunity, there is nothing like being able to apply the knowledge that I have gained these past two years in the real world. The study abroad programs offered through The Frank J. Guarini Institute for International Education not only allow Dartmouth students the opportunity to further their education in a specific subject or field, but also to practically apply their liberal arts education.
During my time in Edinburgh, I am able to take six weekend trips to visit different countries (seven, if you count my trip back to Hanover for Homecoming). Most recently, I joined two other Dartmouth students in an adventure to Dubrovnik, Croatia. I was really excited to visit Dubrovnik because many of the scenes from "Game of Thrones" were filmed here and after my Game of Thrones English class last winter, I am a fan! Here are some pictures!
It’s the DALI Lab, where any student can apply to become a collaborator and work with non-profits, startups, or even students and professors who won the Pitch event and got their ideas into the lab!
Every Thursday students who study or are interested in Arabic converge in the lounge of Bartlett Hall to discuss topics related to the various cultures of the Middle East and North Africa over sweets, biscuits, and Moroccan tea.
I usually spend my academic hours in the lab, or otherwise in a professor’s office getting extemporaneous assistance on some mathematical problem set. But this term is a little different.
Game of Thrones. Global phenomenon. Final season coming up soon, April 14th. What better way to prepare than taking a whole class devoted to Game of Thrones itself?
Research projects can be intimidating for many college students. With demand for an extensive amount of academic sources, research presents various high hurdles and challenges.
Their choice of venue was pretty incomparable: Dartmouth’s Hood Museum! We dressed up for the event that was impeccably organized with catering, live performances from student groups (such as Street Soul), and a DJ.
I LOVE Human-Centered Design. Throughout my time here at Dartmouth, this love has manifested through a variety of experiential learning-based classes, classes that usually entail working with community organizations and collaborating with my peers.
