Toni's D-Plan
What's a D-Plan?-
FallHanover, NH
Favorite Class: ECON 1: The Price System: Analysis, Problems, and PoliciesEach week I was responsible for completing problem sets, quizzes, classwork, and discussion boards. Every week we related what we learned in class to the real world. For example, we read about food banks and their past struggles with efficiency. As a class, we discussed solutions and delved deeper by asking questions and collaborating with each other. I loved this class a lot because Dr. Petre made learning really fun and is so kind! I learned a lot of information ranging from different elasticities of demand and supply to the indicators of poverty. This class was awesome!
WinterHanover, NH
Favorite Class: HIST 07.28: Gender and Urban TransformationFor my FYS (First-Year Seminar), I took a history course called Gender and Urban Transformation (9L slot). Our class discussions drew from primary sources and historical analyses that dabbled on gender and its intersection with race, sexuality, and class in the development of U.S. suburbs and cities. Essentially, we explored urbanization and suburbanization as a multi-gendered process. I developed my research skills as I drafted an annotated bibliography, book review essay, and prospectus on the Chicano Movement's impact in the realm of higher education from the 1960s to the present in California, Texas, and Chicago. I learned a ton, I am so happy that I took Professor Rabig's course!
SpringHanover, NH
Favorite Class: SOCY 1: Introductory SociologySociology 1 is the introductory course for the Sociology major, and I loved this class so much! We had a ton of class discussions and the material was very insightful. We were assigned a term-long discussion group, and my group leader was so kind and knowledgeable. We analyzed and discussed the reasons behind class stratification, power dynamics, and social and economic inequalities in society. This class has truly helped me further develop my sociological imagination and changed my perspective in life. :)
SummerSan Juan Capistrano, CA
Favorite Class: Breakthrough San Juan CapistranoFor the entire summer, I interned for Breakthrough San Juan Capistrano (SJC). Breakthrough SJC is a non-profit organization situated in Southern California that aims to close the achievement gap for underrepresented and underserved students. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to have served as a teaching fellow this summer and for Dartmouth's support in preparing me for this amazing and unforgettable experience!
Spring Term: Week 1 Reflection
As I am reflecting on the first week of my spring term, I want to acknowledge the experiences that I have lived so far.
To Future '26s: Why Dartmouth?
As many of you consider Dartmouth as a possible home for the next four years of your college career; I wanted to offer some insight on my decision to ultimately attend Dartmouth (essentially answering: Why Dartmouth?).
Reflection: Foundations in Social Impact
As I am reflecting on my winter term, I want to talk about Foundations in Social Impact. It is a leadership program that is designed for first-year students at Dartmouth.
Our Tendedero: Mental Health
During Week 8, a group of Dartmouth students and I implemented a tendedero (clothesline project) for public dialogue.
Reflection on Week 7
I am writing this blog post at the end of week 7 of my winter term. I want to reflect on this week and discuss the experiences that I have lived.
Into the Unknown
As I am reflecting on this week, I want to acknowledge a close friendship that I have cultivated with Leigha '25.
Midway of Winter Term!
As I have reached the halfway mark of my first winter, I wanted to reflect on everything that I have lived and experienced.
An Adventure to Panera Bread
This post is about the time Shelby, and I went to Panera Bread. For context, I met Shelby during First-Year Trips, she was one of the leaders for our small cohort.
How To Make a Snowman
Today, I wanted to create a guide on how to make a snowman. For me, a snowman represents a community effort to create something beautiful.
Life in the Snow!
As I am reflecting on my experience with COVID-19, I want to discuss my support system on campus.
