Lauren's D-Plan

What's a D-Plan?

    • FallHanover, NH

      Favorite Class: WRIT 5 Deus et Machina: Sports, Science and Ethics

      I 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!

    • WinterHanover

      Favorite Class: CLST 11.17 Greek Athletics

      This 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!

    • SpringHanover

      Favorite Class: LAT 3 Latin 3

      To conclude my language requirement, I took Latin 3! This class was super exciting because we began to read ancient texts and poetry. We also took a class trip to the Rauner Special Collections library so we could physically handle and read some manuscripts. And as an added bonus, Latin counts as a prerequisite for my classical studies major!

    • SummerRome, Italy

      Favorite Class: ITAL 4 Reading Rome

      As a part of my language study abroad in Italy, I also took a class on Italian history and culture! We went on field trips to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, participated in walking tours of Rome, and watched a lot of great cinema in this class! I loved it so much that I decided to minor in Italian.

    • FallHanover

      Favorite Class: CLST 6 Classical Archaeology

      This class, in addition to being a pre-requisite for my major, was super interesting! I loved learning about archaeology through hands-on projects and lectures that felt like TED Talks.

    • WinterRome, Italy

      Favorite Class: ITAL 10 Italian Literature: Masterworks and Great Issues

      My favorite course on my Italian LSA+ in Rome is focused on Italian literature, which we are studying in a reverse-chronological order! It has been incredibly fun to see different topics and styles evolve over time and to learn from the works of the best writers.

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!

  1. No. 1

    Pine Park

    A photo of two of my friends walking in a snow-covered Pine Park. They are wearing winter clothing and walking on a narrow trail in the snow.

    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

  2. No. 2

    Dartmouth Outing Club (DOC)

    A photo of food on the trunk of a car. There are multiple students eating and making snacks around the trunk.

    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.

  3. No. 3

    Sunset (and Rainbow)!

    A photo of Dartmouth Hall. The sky is a vibrant orange, and a faint rainbow is visible.

    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.
