Hi all! Welcome to my blog! My name is Robin. I am a senior studying Economics and the Digital Arts. Outside of class I'm a guitarist, amateur rock climber, and seasoned billiard player–if you're on campus, there's a good chance you can find me at the Collis pool hall. I love Dartmouth and am sharing my journey through this blog. So if you're a prospie, parent, or Dartmouth enthusiast, you've come to the right place!
In this class, I'll be learning about stellar evolution, the origin of the elements, the deaths of stars, black holes, the structure of our Galaxy, other galaxies, dark matter, the expanding universe and the big bang.
In this class, we explore the issues of mark, line, scale, space, light and composition. I'm not naturally a great artist, but I love art and am taking this course to improve my skills.
This course studies the economic behavior of employers and employees as they interact in the labor market, covering topics such as human capital investment, the structure and determinants of financial compensation and benefits packages, contract negotiations and arbitration.
Painting I is an introductory class in oil painting techniques, painting language, and critical thinking. Major topics that will be covered include: basic color theory, color mixing, paint application, and color composition.
This course explores how the brain controls our motivation to pursue goals and how drugs of abuse hijack those systems, exploring in detail how narcotic drugs (opioids, stimulants, alcohol, cannabis) act in the brain and the mechanisms underlying the transition from drug use to addiction.
Hi all, and welcome to the second edition of Through the Lens! This is a series through which I showcase the work of Dartmouth students from all corners of campus. This week, I interviewed Aadhya Kocha '22, an intern at Dartmouth's Sustainability Office who hails from Mumbai, a coastal city of India. Read below for a personal insight into sustainability at Dartmouth.
"This is a question whose answer often changes and evolves for me. As of now, I believe that sustainability is about the environment and all the connotations people have of it but is also inclusive of people around us as well as future generations. By being sustainable, people can grow collectively with each other, the environment and all the people to come who will be grateful for all the wonderful resources that exist today. Sustainability for me then can include all the different issues that I am passionate about, including the environment, diversity, and female equality."
What do Sustainability Interns do?
"There is a wide range of initiatives we all take up to create sustainable change on campus surrounding waste, energy, bikes and more. Last year, as an EcoRep, I learned design thinking to create change on campus through a video series we made which scattered information across campus on how to be sustainable easily. This year, we are trying to help many more students get involved with this awesome cause early on in their Dartmouth careers to be able to be the change-makers that we know Dartmouth students have the potential to be."
Why did you become a Sustainability Intern?
"Ever since middle school I have been really passionate about the environment and worked a lot to contribute to rainwater harvesting in drought-prone parts of India. Coming to Dartmouth where everything was so different, the sustainability department kind of felt like home as a comfort zone but also because the people were so nice and welcoming and the motto of the office stuck with me. Ever since then, I have always wanted to stay connected."
The movement for sustainable practices at Dartmouth is driven by passionate students like Aadhya. Every year, interns design and implement campus-wide projects, such as the Green2Go food system—which eliminated the average of 400 containers sent into landfills every meal period.

Most students have to go back to college after Thanksgiving to take their finals, but not at Dartmouth! We have a six-week winter break, known as "winterim!" Let me tell you how I spent my winterim!
As a second-year at Dartmouth, I've embraced leadership roles that foster community, creativity, and support! Here's a look at how each role has shaped my journey.
