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!
Fall Has Arrived!
I have never felt happier, as I have been focusing on myself and making myself a better person each and every day.

A Letter for Prospective Students: Into The Unknown
For me, having a close-knit community played a vital role in my college search. Dartmouth's respect and love for Indigenous and Latinx students inspired me to apply. These factors all played a role in my decision to ultimately attend Dartmouth.
A New Chapter: Do you see the Autumn Tree?
A kid from Southern California packs his bags and heads east. He arrives at Dartmouth College and begins a new life. I wonder what he will do? It is Fall, the leaves begin to change, what else will change with time?
