Spring on Campus
The end of winter brings outdoor concerts, and longer, warmers days to spend time outside enjoying our natural campus environment.
Spring provides a backdrop of competition and recreation through intramural, club, and intercollegiate athletic teams, including the co-ed Dartmouth cycling club team.
In late April, the campus celebrates PRIDE Week, Dartmouth Hall is illuminated in rainbow colors, and the community promotes awareness and provides opportunites to encourage inclusion and discussion through celebration.
