Owen's D-Plan
What's a D-Plan?-
FallHanover, NH
Favorite Class: BIOL 19: Honors Cell Structure and FunctionA freshman-only introductory biology class taught by an amazing professor who's super invested and wants students to make friends and develop a love of cell biology.
WinterQuechee, VT
Favorite Class: EARS 2: Evolution of Earth and LifeA really cool introductory Earth Science course that taught the basics of geology, Earth history, and paleontology: all in one super accessible course.
SpringHanover, NH
Favorite Class: EARS 12: Big Data Science in HydrologyThis class taught us the basics of the R programming language in order to use it to analyze real-life hydrologic data. In class, we got to analyze datasets about rain, river discharge, flooding, and acid rain, using only the skills we gained from this course with no prerequisites.

FallHanover, NH
Favorite Class: GEOG 63: Racial Geographies: Race and the Politics of PlaceThis discussion-based geography class was my first interaction with the Geography Department, which other students have been raving to me about. The class, which is cross-listed with African-American Studies, analyzes how locations shape black embodiment and identity. Super cool stuff!

Make Some Extra Green: Jobs on Campus
With Winterim coming to a close and classes starting back up, I recently reflected on the prominence of student jobs on campus, with tons of options ranging from tutoring to food service and from ski instructors to research assistants.

Since the most important aspect of any college experience is the people, I thought I'd introduce you to some of the people that make Dartmouth amazing.
