“Dartmouth is the sixth college or university in the United States that practices universal need-blind admissions and has a commitment to meet 100 percent of demonstrated need. It is a dramatic commitment to access and equity for all students, regardless of citizenship.”

Meet the People Who Make Dartmouth Dartmouth

Humans of Hanover But what exactly makes this place profound? What makes Hanover electric? The people, of course. We affectionately call them the Humans of Hanover, and you’ll meet several of them right here. One thing you’ll notice is that there’s no Dartmouth “type,” and that’s exactly the way we like it.

What distinguishes Dartmouth College? Certainly, its profound sense of place amid the dizzyingly tall pines of New Hampshire. Definitely its academic, artistic, and athletic excellence. And, yes, the famously buzzing little college town in which it sits—Hanover.

The Theological Adventurer

The Creative Mentor Soo Sunny Park Professor of Studio Art

Tulio Huggins ’23 Hometown: Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania Majors: English and History with a concentration in Creative Writing

“Talking with those who are deeply curious about their own faith has allowed me to wrestle with tough questions about mine.”

A thought leader in religious spaces on campus like Christian Union and the ecumenical journal Dartmouth Apologia, Tulio Huggins actually intended to major in government until a course called “Everything Has a History” changed his mind. “That class really cemented the idea that the past affects our everyday lives and our future,” he says, crediting the course with inspiring him to major in history. He then added a second major in English with a concentration in creative writing. “My majors,” he reflects, “have influenced me to look at my beliefs through different lenses, and I think that’s helped deepen my faith.”

Professor of Studio Art Soo Sunny Park often finds inspiration for her globally acclaimed work in the classroom. “Teaching inspires my work,” she says, “and I hope that by showing students how to think creatively with materials, they can find a voice that helps them change the world.”

Tulio leaped at the opportunity to study in London with fellow Dartmouth classmates and professors on the English department’s Foreign Study Program (FSP). His time away from campus proved to him that the Dartmouth community stretches across oceans.

“The reason I picked Dartmouth was because I saw a community, and I felt I could make it my home,” he says. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had conversations that have gone well into the morning with people from different spaces in my life. Talking with those who are deeply curious about their own faith has allowed me to wrestle with tough questions about mine.”

“It’s great to see how Dartmouth students take what we offer in class and make it their own, even after they leave the College.”

Professor Park coaches students to become observers of their own art and the art of their classmates, developing the integrity to critique work empathetically. “Some students feel at peace and engaged in class because they’ve found a kind of home in studio art. They learn to express themselves in ways that help them better understand themselves. I’m sure this is true for people in other departments, too.” She notes that there’s a bond between all the ‘makers’ on campus, including those working in film and engineering, that makes for an especially dynamic community within a community.

She adds that while many of her students have gone on to become successful artists, others have gone on to become industrial designers or surgeons. “It’s great to see how Dartmouth students take what we offer in class and make it their own,” she notes, “even after they leave the College.”

Students receiving need-based financial aid pay the same net price for a term in Hanover as a Dartmouth off-campus study program anywhere in the world.

The Digital Historian

The Archaeological Detective

Donia Tung ’22 Hometown: New York, New York Majors: Computer Science and History Minor: Women’s, Gender, & Sexuality Studies

“DALI fosters collaboration and a sense of community… it’s the space in which I’ve grown the most.”

Jesse Casana Professor of Anthropology and Chair of the Department of Anthropology

Donia Tung calls Dartmouth’s DALI Lab “an explosion of color,” literally and metaphorically. An experiential learning program with a buzzy startup atmosphere, the Digital Applied Learning and Innovation (DALI) Lab encourages students to design and develop pioneering digital solutions. “DALI also fosters collaboration and a sense of community,” Donia says, “and it’s the space in which I’ve grown the most.”

“I get most excited about discovering cities that are otherwise lost to history,” says Professor of Anthropology Jesse Casana.

When you arrive at his field station in Norwich, Vermont, however, you won’t find the shovels and trowels most associated with archaeology. You’ll discover instead his suite of high-tech drones, ground-penetrating radar, and thermal cameras.

Now a software engineer at DALI, Donia has worked with Dartmouth professors to build a series of games that help students learn linear algebra. She collaborated with the Salvador Dalí Museum in Florida to build a digital art experience using eye-tracking technology. She’s also heavily involved in HackDartmouth, an annual 24-hour coding competition sponsored by tech companies like Facebook, Microsoft, and Google.

Although his work has taken him all over the world, Professor Casana also has conducted archaeological surveys on the lawn of Dartmouth’s Baker-Berry Library using ground-penetrating radar to locate the foundation of a historic home owned by Sylvanus Ripley, one of Dartmouth’s first four graduates, in the late 18th century. With the help of Dartmouth undergraduates, he uncovered hundreds of artifacts. “My students always want to get their fingernails dirty,” he laughs.

“We’ll think outside the box, be creative, look where others haven’t looked before, and maybe find something great!”

Donia is embracing the flexible academic paths available to Dartmouth students by pursuing a second major in history and a minor in women’s, gender, and sexuality studies. Demonstrating how all those disparate fields can meld, she has collaborated on the creation of an interactive website publicizing archival materials of traditional Chinese storytellers. “I’ve always really liked stories,” she says. “It’s about narrative and storytelling and how to convey these ideas to others.”

Students from any discipline who want to conduct hands-on research alongside Professor Casana are in luck. He co-teaches a class called “Who Owns the Past?” with Assistant Professor of Classical Studies Julie Hruby and has plans to lead a new course in which students undertake an archaeological project. “We’ll think outside the box, be creative, look where others haven’t looked before,” he says, “and maybe find something great!”

A vibrant global community, Dartmouth is home to students from nearly 100 countries speaking over 90 different languages.

60% of Dartmouth students engage in research—often funded by a deep well of campus resources.

The Political Peacemaker

The Social Entrepreneur

William Reicher ‘22 Hometown: Piedmont, California Major: Government Minors: Public Policy and Chinese

Chio Barrionuevo Quispe ’23 Hometown: Cusco, Peru Major: Geography modified with Environmental Studies

In the sharp divides of political polarization, William Reicher is a peacemaker. During his first year on campus, he cofounded the Dartmouth Political Union along with his friend Vlado Vojdanovski ’22. “We wanted to create a nonpartisan forum for students of all political ideologies to have civil conversations about political, social, and economic issues,” he says. Run by an ideologically diverse executive board, the club provides Dartmouth students with a platform to respectfully engage on pressing political issues.

“We’re a pretty big mix of liberals, conservatives, Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, and Democratic Socialists, so we really run the gamut,” he adds.

Led by the conviction that politics should foremost be of service to people’s lives, William worked as a managing editor for Clean Energy for Biden (now Clean Energy for America), collaborating with business and nonprofit leaders to advance policies, technologies, and investments to address climate challenges with programs that also boost the economy. “There are so many forces trying to divide us,” William reflects. “If the past four years have taught me anything, it’s that we in human society have a lot more in common than what separates us.”

“Issues we face as a society are interconnected, and it’s up to us if we are going to work together as individuals or as countries.”

Rocio “Chio” Barrionuevo Quispe began fighting for the social causes she cares about at an early age. Troubled that her home country of Peru has the third highest rate of violence against women worldwide, she spent her high school years launching FUTUPLAN, a project focused on national sexual violence prevention.

At Dartmouth, Chio joined the Entrepreneurship Living Learning Community (LLC). Inspired by the creativity of her housemates, she developed Sumaq Kawsay, an environmentally responsible personal care company that strives to make sustainability a universal mindset. “Sustainability has long been linked to luxury,” she says. “We forget that some members of our community—especially Indigenous peoples—have long lived in this way.” Since its launch, her business has expanded to other cities in Peru, including Lima.

A recipient of the King Scholarship, a prestigious award for low-income students from developing nations, Chio plans to embark on the Environmental Studies Foreign Study Program (FSP) to South Africa and Namibia during her senior fall and eventually pursue a career in the social sector. “Issues we face as a society are interconnected, and it’s up to us if we are going to work together as individuals or as countries,” Chio says. “These issues will affect everyone in the end.”

“We wanted to create a nonpartisan forum for students of all political ideologies to have civil conversations.”

With the help of Dartmouth undergraduates, he uncovered hundreds of artifacts. “My students always want to get their fingernails dirty,” he laughs.

“We’ll think outside the box, be creative, look where others haven’t looked before, and maybe find something great!”

Donia is embracing the flexible academic paths available to Dartmouth students by pursuing a second major in history and a minor in women’s, gender, and sexuality studies. Demonstrating how all those disparate fields can meld, she has collaborated on the creation of an interactive website publicizing archival materials of traditional Chinese storytellers. “I’ve always really liked stories,” she says. “It’s about narrative and storytelling and how to convey these ideas to others.”

Students from any discipline who want to conduct hands-on research alongside Professor Casana are in luck. He co-teaches a class called “Who Owns the Past?” with Assistant Professor of Classical Studies Julie Hruby and has plans to lead a new course in which students undertake an archaeological project. “We’ll think outside the box, be creative, look where others haven’t looked before,” he says, “and maybe find something great!”

A vibrant global community, Dartmouth is home to students from nearly 100 countries speaking over 90 different languages.

60% of Dartmouth students engage in research—often funded by a deep well of campus resources.

The Political Peacemaker

The Social Entrepreneur

William Reicher ‘22 Hometown: Piedmont, California Major: Government Minors: Public Policy and Chinese

Chio Barrionuevo Quispe ’23 Hometown: Cusco, Peru Major: Geography modified with Environmental Studies

In the sharp divides of political polarization, William Reicher is a peacemaker. During his first year on campus, he cofounded the Dartmouth Political Union along with his friend Vlado Vojdanovski ’22. “We wanted to create a nonpartisan forum for students of all political ideologies to have civil conversations about political, social, and economic issues,” he says. Run by an ideologically diverse executive board, the club provides Dartmouth students with a platform to respectfully engage on pressing political issues.

“We’re a pretty big mix of liberals, conservatives, Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, and Democratic Socialists, so we really run the gamut,” he adds.

Led by the conviction that politics should foremost be of service to people’s lives, William worked as a managing editor for Clean Energy for Biden (now Clean Energy for America), collaborating with business and nonprofit leaders to advance policies, technologies, and investments to address climate challenges with programs that also boost the economy. “There are so many forces trying to divide us,” William reflects. “If the past four years have taught me anything, it’s that we in human society have a lot more in common than what separates us.”

“Issues we face as a society are interconnected, and it’s up to us if we are going to work together as individuals or as countries.”

Rocio “Chio” Barrionuevo Quispe began fighting for the social causes she cares about at an early age. Troubled that her home country of Peru has the third highest rate of violence against women worldwide, she spent her high school years launching FUTUPLAN, a project focused on national sexual violence prevention.

At Dartmouth, Chio joined the Entrepreneurship Living Learning Community (LLC). Inspired by the creativity of her housemates, she developed Sumaq Kawsay, an environmentally responsible personal care company that strives to make sustainability a universal mindset. “Sustainability has long been linked to luxury,” she says. “We forget that some members of our community—especially Indigenous peoples—have long lived in this way.” Since its launch, her business has expanded to other cities in Peru, including Lima.

A recipient of the King Scholarship, a prestigious award for low-income students from developing nations, Chio plans to embark on the Environmental Studies Foreign Study Program (FSP) to South Africa and Namibia during her senior fall and eventually pursue a career in the social sector. “Issues we face as a society are interconnected, and it’s up to us if we are going to work together as individuals or as countries,” Chio says. “These issues will affect everyone in the end.”

Meet the People Who Make Dartmouth Dartmouth

Humans of Hanover But what exactly makes this place profound? What makes Hanover electric? The people, of course. We affectionately call them the Humans of Hanover, and you’ll meet several of them right here. One thing you’ll notice is that there’s no Dartmouth “type,” and that’s exactly the way we like it.

What distinguishes Dartmouth College? Certainly, its profound sense of place amid the dizzyingly tall pines of New Hampshire. Definitely its academic, artistic, and athletic excellence. And, yes, the famously buzzing little college town in which it sits—Hanover.

The Theological Adventurer

The Creative Mentor Soo Sunny Park Professor of Studio Art

Tulio Huggins ’23 Hometown: Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania Majors: English and History with a concentration in Creative Writing

“Talking with those who are deeply curious about their own faith has allowed me to wrestle with tough questions about mine.”

A thought leader in religious spaces on campus like Christian Union and the ecumenical journal Dartmouth Apologia, Tulio Huggins actually intended to major in government until a course called “Everything Has a History” changed his mind. “That class really cemented the idea that the past affects our everyday lives and our future,” he says, crediting the course with inspiring him to major in history. He then added a second major in English with a concentration in creative writing. “My majors,” he reflects, “have influenced me to look at my beliefs through different lenses, and I think that’s helped deepen my faith.”

Professor of Studio Art Soo Sunny Park often finds inspiration for her globally acclaimed work in the classroom. “Teaching inspires my work,” she says, “and I hope that by showing students how to think creatively with materials, they can find a voice that helps them change the world.”

Tulio leaped at the opportunity to study in London with fellow Dartmouth classmates and professors on the English department’s Foreign Study Program (FSP). His time away from campus proved to him that the Dartmouth community stretches across oceans.

“The reason I picked Dartmouth was because I saw a community, and I felt I could make it my home,” he says. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had conversations that have gone well into the morning with people from different spaces in my life. Talking with those who are deeply curious about their own faith has allowed me to wrestle with tough questions about mine.”

“It’s great to see how Dartmouth students take what we offer in class and make it their own, even after they leave the College.”

Professor Park coaches students to become observers of their own art and the art of their classmates, developing the integrity to critique work empathetically. “Some students feel at peace and engaged in class because they’ve found a kind of home in studio art. They learn to express themselves in ways that help them better understand themselves. I’m sure this is true for people in other departments, too.” She notes that there’s a bond between all the ‘makers’ on campus, including those working in film and engineering, that makes for an especially dynamic community within a community.

She adds that while many of her students have gone on to become successful artists, others have gone on to become industrial designers or surgeons. “It’s great to see how Dartmouth students take what we offer in class and make it their own,” she notes, “even after they leave the College.”

Students receiving need-based financial aid pay the same net price for a term in Hanover as a Dartmouth off-campus study program anywhere in the world.
