Lauren's D-Plan
What's a D-Plan?-
FallHanover, NH
Favorite Class: WRIT 5 Deus et Machina: Sports, Science and EthicsI took this class as part of Dartmouth's first year writing requirement. We read a pro cyclist's life narrative, discussed research papers on controversial topics in sports, and wrote our own papers on a contentious sports technology of our choice. I really enjoyed this course's emphasis on discussion, and the small class size!

Favorite Class: CLST 11.17 Greek AthleticsThis was my first class in the classics department, which was super exciting as a classical studies major! We learned about the ancient Olympics and the connections between athletics and other aspects of ancient Greek society. I loved the final project in this class, which involved creating an argument about how the ancient pentathlon was scored!

A Week in my Life: Spring Edition!
Every week (and every day) at Dartmouth, are different, but the variety makes life fun!

Spring Photos!
As I look forward to week 5, I wanted to share some photos that show what I've been up to so far this term!
- No. 1
Pine Park
The weather has been warming up recently; however, at the beginning of the term, the ground was covered in snow! I enjoyed exploring the winter wonderland with my friends and going on walks despite the chilly temperatures
- No. 2
Dartmouth Outing Club (DOC)
One of my favorite aspects of Dartmouth Outing Club trips is the opportunity to meet more of my classmates. On a recent trip to Vermont during the eclipse, I cherished the opportunity to connect with other students interested in the outdoors.
- No. 3
Sunset (and Rainbow)!
A few days ago, I was able to see a beautiful sunset and rainbow over Dartmouth Hall while sitting on the Green with my friends. After a rainy week, it was a welcome sight that reminded me how beautiful my campus is.
