Lily's D-Plan
What's a D-Plan?-
FallHanover, NH
Favorite Class: REL 19.19 Religion and TechnologyThis discussion and reading-based class was incredible and relevant! Content ranged from the historical impact of the printing press to AI in the workforce and transhumanism, and all of the topics were grounded in religion and some of the frameworks religion provides. I pondered on ideas from this class all the time.
WinterHanover, NH
Favorite Class: WRIT 5 Metamorphosis and OthernessI was captivated by the first class meeting of the term reading Ovid's 'Metamorphoses' and eventually chose to focus on it for my research paper at the end of the term. All of the readings captivated my attention, however, Kafka, Han's 'The Vegetarian', and Kristeva were the authors that made the biggest impression on me. The class discussions resulted in wonderful insights relevant to humanity at a macro level. My favorite aspect was our professor instructing us to focus on the ideas before picking apart the writing style.
SpringHanover, NH
Favorite Class: GEOG 21/INTS 18 Global Health and SocietyThis class made me think about the bigger picture of health in a systems focus. Ultimately this class helped me realize that there are a lot of structural health system challenges in the U.S. and around the world. I particularly liked learning about the histories and anthropological side of things. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) were my favorite topic in the class because the frameworks are very limited, so some do not receive enough focus and funding.
SummerSantander, Spain
Favorite Class: Santander Spanish LSALanguage study abroad!
First Impressions of my Language Study Abroad in Spain
My first week in Spain has allowed me to discern distinct cultural differences. I have also been adapting to the time change, food, and speaking Spanish 24/7.
Recapping a Year in the Interfaith LLC
As my first year at Dartmouth comes to a close, I am interviewing my peers who lived in the interfaith LLC (Living Learning Community) with me.
Great Issues Scholars from Various Perspectives
I lived on the same dorm floor as the GIS LLC (Living Learning Community) this year. I asked some of my floormates about their experience with it so that you can hopefully get a holistic sense of what GIS is like!
Great Issues Scholars: a Year in Review
As my first year at Dartmouth comes to an end, I am looking back at my experience with Great Issues Scholars, a first-year program with the Dickey Center for International Understanding.
When One Course Reminds You of Another
Sometimes in my courses I find myself thinking, "Hey that seems familiar!" I think it speaks to Dartmouth professors' ability to cover a broad range of relevant topics and the interdisciplinary nature of the College.
My Pathway to the Language Requirement
At Dartmouth, there is an undergraduate requirement for language; after all, it is the liberal arts! Fulfilling this requirement looks different for various people and I will focus on my experience.
