Bio 

Hi! I'm Reece, and I am '28 from Northern California! I hope to study Government, Policy, and Religion in college but come winter, I'll just be hoping to survive the snow. Outside of classes, I love to read, crochet, and journal, and can't wait to expand on my interests this year. I love the outdoors—but hate hiking—and I can't wait for my first spring on the Green! I hope my blog can help answer your ungoogleable questions, and please follow along for chaos that is bound to ensue!

      Favorite Class: REL 62 Religion, Politics, and the Presidency

      As a student interested in both government and religion, I was thrilled to take this course in the fall—concurrent with the presidential election. The Professor, Randall Balmer, was a really engaging speaker and a leading expert in the field—he even authored two of the course books! We spent our class time discussing many historical and modern elections and discussed in depth the religious influences on the various figures. Overall, this class was really interesting and a great introduction to the religion major!

The Famous Dartmouth Network: Student-Alumni Winterim Chat Program

Dartmouth is known for many things—our deep-rooted traditions, our outdoors spirit, the amazing facility, the welcoming students etc.—but one stands out among the rest: our alumni network. This Winter Break, or "Winterim" for short, I participated in the "Student-Alumni Winterim Chat Program," and it served as my first introduction to the network.

The word "Dartmouth" is bolded in forest green and lies above "Connect," written in a thin black script. Next to the word "connect," there are six green lines that fan out to look like spokes. The background behind the text is white.

At Dartmouth, there are many opportunities to engage with alumni, but one popular avenue is to use our online website, Dartmouth Connect. In collaboration with the Center for Professional Development (CPD), Dartmouth Connect hosts this yearly program for first-year students to match them with alumni in their future career fields. 

This winter, I was matched with an alumni from the Class of '71, who is now a retired Associate Justice from a state Supreme Judicial Court; h. He was such a cool speaker and told me all about his journey at Dartmouth and beyond. I loved hearing from him one-on-one, and can't waitiatr to keep in touch in the future. Before coming to Dartmouth, I never thought I'd get these opportunities in college, let alone as a first-year, but I've come to learn that these are normal experiences for Dartmouth students. 

Dartmouth alumni love the school, love the town, and most importantly, love the students. They do everything they can to help advise and advance the lives of current students, and I'm so happy to be a new member of this network!
