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!

Excited for Winter!

Pizza, Pizza, Pizza!
During Winterim, I worked at my family's pizza shop in Dana Point, California! I have spent so many of my childhood days working alongside my dad and will always cherish the memories that I have made in a place made of four walls.
What to Wear for Winter Tours?
During this extraordinary winter time, Admissions will host winter term tours for prospective students and their families.
What is a Peer Recommendation?
A peer recommendation is a written statement done by an applicant's peer that supports their candidacy to the College.
Dartmouth Tradition: The Story of Sun God
I was very surprised to encounter Sun God on the first Friday of my freshman fall term. I saw a masked person strolling the town with wings and ominous music.
The End of My Fall Term:
I am now reflecting on my classes and the experiences that I lived this term.

Dartmouth offers a truly remarkable student experience that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the United States.
