The fall term may be winding down, but it's worth reflecting on what students can be grateful for even during a pandemic.

While the student body at the College may be relatively small, students here recognize that their vote can hold a lot of weight in New Hampshire, a classic swing state. 

Fall is definitely in full-swing, and with Halloween right around the corner, I think I'll reflect on the meaning of this holiday — particularly during a pandemic.

No one is enjoying the perpetual state of uncertainty that we've been living in since the start of the pandemic back in March.

Dartmouth's Student Assembly has already run several voter registration drives, and I had the opportunity to vote early in my first presidential election ever at a town hall just last week. That's a moment I definitely won't forget!

Although I've only just finished my third week of classes, I'm already seeing the value in getting to know my professors early in the quarter. Trust me: professors are real people who want to work with you!

If a professor asks you to read a text outside of class, they are asking you to read it for a reason.

My name is Michael Harrison '24 and I'm from Long Island, NY. Although my first official week as a Dartmouth student has just come to a close, it feels like I've been a part of the Dartmouth 'ecosystem' for a while now!
