Good Deeds in Planting Seeds

3 weeks ago | dartmouthalumnimagazine.com | Nancy Schoeffler

When Hammond spurred his classmates to start a pollinator garden project in 2021, they leaped into action. His volunteers have now planted three dozen gardens in the Upper Valley, including 20 on campus. “Everyone benefits. It’s apolitical, and it’s not too difficult,” says Hammond, who runs a nonprofit, Creating Habitats for Pollinators (CHP). More than 100 U.S. crops depend on bees and butterflies—which are threatened by habitat loss and pesticides.
Running for His Wife

As coverage of last spring’s Boston Marathon bombings reminded us, people test themselves for more than 26 miles at a clip for a lot of different reasons—often nothing to do with fitness or a runner’s personal passion for sport. What was especially stunning about Boston was the juxtaposition of terrorism against families celebrating together. Among those who finished well ahead of the blasts was Tom Dente, who in 2008 decided to run one marathon a month for five years.

A leading scholar on trade history and former president of the Economic History Association, Irwin is the author of seven books, including Clashing over Commerce: A History of U.S. Trade Policy, which The Economist and Foreign Affairs selected as one of their best books of the year, and Free Trade under Fire. Given the renewed outbreak of U.S. protectionism, let’s start with a brief historical overview on tariffs.

Chavira Ochoa is passionate about crickets—to eat. “It’s a no-brainer: Cricket protein is a superfood,” she says. “The only problem we face is the stigma behind consuming bugs. It’s time for us to change our habits and diets and move toward a more sustainable and nutrient-rich path.”During her senior year, Chavira Ochoa and fellow students developed a test product—cricket-based bouillon cubes, which she says add a nutty umami flavor to broth served on ramen.

When Skate Club members meet on Thursdays, they grab air and stick landings—with varying degrees of ease and expertise. The action takes place at their new skate park, a set of ramps, pipes, and rails on the roof deck of Maxwell Hall. Last year, founders Malik Terrab ’25 and Asher Lord ’25 nailed $5,000 in funding from the Dartmouth Outing Club to equip the park. The money also helps with helmets and boards, although many skaters have their own. The deck isn’t large, but “it skates,” Terrab says.
“What Life Feels Like”

“The script just poured out of me,” says Mehrel of Honeyjoon, the feature film she wrote and is directing on Sao Miguel Island in the Azores. The semiautobiographical comedy tells the story of an old-fashioned Kurdish-Persian woman who, after the death of her husband, travels to Portugal’s coast with their vivacious daughter—and how they each deal with grief. Mehrel’s pitch won the 2024 AT&T Presents: Untold Stories award, which helps emerging and underrepresented filmmakers.

In need of repairs? Fromer likely knows someone who can help—for free. Since 2022 she has coordinated a growing network of repair cafés in more than 50 communities that stretch across New York state. Her volunteers—many of them retired electrical engineers, others inveterate tinkerers—repair just about anything, from chair legs to zippers to computers to antique radios. The most requested repair? “It’s consistently lamps,” says Fromer.

The Long Haul

Moose Morse is no typical Dartmouth junior. It’s not even clear that he is a junior. He started college in 2016, but he didn’t begin his second term until spring 2018, and his third term in 2020. Today, as his original classmates start thinking about their fifth reunion, Morse, 27, continues his slow trek toward an engineering degree. He doesn’t expect to graduate until 2029, thanks to his 13-year college plan.
