For most Dartmouth students, balancing academics and extracurriculars is already challenging enough. Still, for Sam Macuga ’23, a U.S. Ski Jumping Team member, “busy” takes on a whole new meaning. Macuga, who grew up in Park City, Utah, is training for the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics while pursuing a Dartmouth degree. Her unique ability to manage being both a professional athlete and an Ivy League student has defined her time as an undergraduate. Sam isn’t the only impressive Macuga.
The Great Dartmouth Relaxation Ranking

3 weeks ago | thedartmouth.com | Leila Brady

If you know me, you know I like to relax. With the weather getting warmer and my motivation for schoolwork evaporating, I’ve found myself slowly migrating out of the library. One minute it’s a “quick study break,” the next I’m speed-walking across campus carrying a Hop salad and absolutely no books. Life at Dartmouth often feels like sprinting a marathon — go to class, meet with your project group, speed-run your readings, pull an all-nighter, repeat.

Re: Beilock says “reflection does not mean capitulation”College President Sian Leah Beilock’s reflections on higher education’s current challenges are vital and timely. True reflection, rooted in honesty and courage, can illuminate the right path forward. Yet reflection must lead to principled action — especially when federal actions threaten freedom of inquiry and the diversity that strengthens our institutions and academic endeavors.

Letter to the Editor: Stand Up Together Now

Re: Dartmouth only Ivy to abstain from signing letter against Trump administration funding cutsTo the Editor:I am deeply disappointed by College President Sian Leah Beilock’s continued refusal to sign the American Association of Colleges and Universities letter which now bears the signatures of over 500 colleges and university presidents. The intellectual gymnastics required to use “self-reflection” as justification for this decision is equally troubling.
Editor’s Note

My mom is a gardener through and through. She coaxes blooms from bare stems and revives the drooping and forgotten with a few muttered words and a splash of water. Whatever weight the day lays on her shoulders — fatigue, frustration, the quiet ache of repetition — it all slips away the moment she steps into our backyard. Five minutes among her plants and her spirit lifts as if it is photosynthesizing with the leaves around her. Her garden is more than a pastime.
Letter to the Editor: We Need Courageous Leadership

1 month ago | thedartmouth.com | Jessica Brown

To the Editor: These are extraordinary times. I am ashamed to say that the president of my beloved alma mater chose not to sign the AACU letter. It is not hyperbole to say our entire way of life is in peril. They are at war with us and the only way we can avoid defeat is to band together and set aside minor disagreements. The challenge is greater now as we try to fight the internal threat of authoritarianism. This is not partisan politics as usual.
Reflection: Who’s Going to Late Night These Days?

1 month ago | thedartmouth.com | Leila Brady

One writer reflects on her Late Night experience as a sophomore. Within three hours of getting back to campus this spring, I found myself at Late Night at the Class of 1953 Commons. It felt like a fitting re-entry. I’d spent the first two weeks of my off-term away from Hanover, but there I was again, bathed in the dim, warm glow of Foco. The air was thick with fryer oil and the little plastic cups next to the soda machines were stacked in their jagged towers.
