Hi all! Welcome to my very public blogging page! I am Toni Fabian '25, the middle child of my family, from a small town in sunny Southern California. I plan to study economics and sociology. I am passionate about culture, educational equity, and social justice. I will be writing about all things Dartmouth, from the infamous FOCO cookies to the resources and opportunities offered here on campus. I am truly so excited to bring you along with me while I navigate my college journey!
Well, hello there! I am Toni Fabian and I use he/him pronouns. I am from a small picturesque city called San Juan Capistrano, situated in sunny Southern California. I am sadly the middle child of my family. Just kidding! I love my sisters a lot and I think they are amazing! My little sister is learning how to add and subtract negative numbers, lol. On the other hand, my big sister is studying for the MCAT. I love my dad and mom so much, too. They are authoritative and hard-working. I look up to my parents a lot because they taught me the importance of family.

I went to St. Margaret's Episcopal School for high school and learned a ton. I was able to cultivate my love for learning by taking classes that I was genuinely interested in. A person that truly changed the way that I viewed the education field was my Upper School Headmistress, Dr. Graham '96. She inspired me to be the best person that I can be by teaching me the importance of kindness, hard work, and dedication. Her experience at Dartmouth truly helped me realize that Dartmouth was the home that I wanted to go to.

I am extremely passionate about educational equity, social justice, and culture. I believe that education has the power to change lives. I am a first-generation college student and plan to delve deeper into my love for sociology, economics, public policy, and Latin American, Latino, & Caribbean Studies. I fell in love with Dartmouth's close-knit Indigenous and Latinx community. I plan to tell you all about the magnitude of resources and opportunities offered here at Dartmouth. I will be writing about my passions, college class reflections, and most importantly articles on FOCO goodies, such as the infamous chocolate chip cookies. Bye!

When adapting to a unique college environment, it is important to open yourself up to new perspectives and meet all kinds of wonderful people! Yet, it is even more important to remember your values and what makes you happy.
I reflect on Week 4 and the beauty of Dartmouth's many opportunities and resources. I discuss the amazing memories and bonds that I have created within the Dartmouth and Upper Valley communities!
The vast amount of clubs and activities at Dartmouth can be overwhelming at first. Get to know a little bit about my experience with extracurriculars at Dartmouth!
As the leaves begin to turn, fall festivities are around every corner! From Harvest dinner to Homecoming weekend, campus was buzzing with excitement from students, parents, and alumni!
In hopes of sharing my Homecoming in a unique way that will hopefully show you a different side of Dartmouth's biggest tradition, I decided to just share three things. Three nice things that I experienced during Homecoming.
