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!
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.

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!
Before my internship in Italy, I spent two terms studying in Rome. How did those experiences help prepare me for my current position? Well, let me explain!
Summers between terms look different for every Dartmouth student! Opportunities are abundant and it's all what you make it out to be. This summer I interned on the Clean Energy Team at Wood PLC and traveled home to see my sister get married!
As an intern at one of Brazil's leading financial services firms, I spent my days working on strategy, design, and employee experience. But beyond spreadsheets and slides, I found purpose in my routine. Here's a peek into one of those days!
