Lamees' D-Plan
What's a D-Plan?-
FallOn-Campus
Favorite Class: Intro to Middle Eastern PoliticsThe incredible Professor Fishere's engaging teaching style made my initiation into the realm of politics unforgettable. The class gave us an overview of the Middle East's history and how it shapes (and explains) the region's current pressing political issues as well as how they are (or aren't) tackled.
WinterOn-Campus
Favorite Class: Government 5: International PoliticsProfessor Lind is an amazing lecturer - I even took her to lunch at Pine! She is specialized in East Asia, so it was very fun to discuss how US relations with China and North Korea were developing from day to day.

All You Need is the Bamboo
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.

Don’t Fear the Triple!
I always had my own room, and by chance, was never housed with a roommate during summer camps. To top that off, I really like my personal space.

A Very International Weekend
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.


How to Celebrate Dartmouth's 250th Year of Winter
Every term, Dartmouth has one big, traditional weekend celebration. The big event of every winter term is Winter Carnival.

A Snowy Hike with Cabin and Trail
Coming to Dartmouth, my experience with the outdoors was very limited. I had only camped out once and went hiking for the first time on my First-Year Trip.

Learn a New Language... the Dartmouth Way!
Have you ever heard of 'drill'? John A. Rassias, a former professor at Dartmouth, developed an innovative language learning strategy known as the Rassias Method (or the Dartmouth Intensive Language Model) that we use in these drill classes.

Middle Eastern Studies Dept.: Arabic in a Changing World
As a student from the Middle East, I would have never imagined that I would go to the States to learn more about the politics and culture of my own region…

Reading Comics for Class?!
I recently had the chance to revisit some iconic French comics, like Tintin and Astérix, in none other than my First Year Seminar.

What Do Jake Tapper ‘91, Mindy Kaling ’01, and I Have in Common?
We all have drawn cartoons for America's oldest college newspaper, The Dartmouth!

My First EVER Snow Experience
The next morning we were greeted by beautiful mounds of frosty white flakes covering our campus outside our windows - it was my very first snow experience!
