Want to meet a few of those Humans of Hanover? Just turn the page. But what makes this place profound? What gives Dartmouth its reputation for excellence? What makes Hanover buzz? The people, of course. The Humans of Hanover—students from 92 countries speaking more than fifty languages. This community is socio-economically diverse, too—perhaps because Dartmouth meets 100% of demonstrated financial need, regardless of citizenship. NONPROFIT ORG.

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

Sofía Carbonell Realme ’20 and Professor Colleen Boggs met after they were paired together as first-year advisee and advisor. Sofia had also signed up for the Art of War course that Boggs was team-teaching, and the relationship quickly blossomed into an important mentorship. “The course was definitely challenging. I hadn’t built my writing or analytical skills yet and wrote the worst essay of my undergraduate career. Professor Boggs has been very good about guiding me. I started tackling smaller essays, because I knew it was pivotal to be able to write and do research.”
Manny dropped by the office of engineering professor Eugene Santos Jr. one day on a whim. The undergrad had been doing research in computer science and was becoming increasingly intrigued by artificial intelligence, so the two decided that Manny should start digging into machine learning and the rich topic of natural language processing. By the end of Spring term, Professor Santos asked him to present his findings to some of his graduate students. Manny received funding from the Undergraduate Advising and Research office to work full-time over the summer developing a deeper understanding of human intelligence. “As we build more powerful models,” Manny says, “we can apply them to tackle problems like climate change, space travel, and world hunger.” Professor Santos’ guidance, he says, has been pivotal. “I can’t tell you how much I value just being able to walk in and talk to him.” Professor Santos is equally excited about the mentorship. “I’m looking forward to hearing ten years down the line: ‘Did you know Manny Akosah?’ And to be able to say: ‘Yeah, I actually advised him.’”
“My goal is to extend the application of machine learning from silly filters on our phones to virtually every industry on the planet.”
Out of class, Sofía has been instrumental in reviving the once-dormant Dartmouth Classical Ballet Theater, while also finding a way to combine that interest with her love of writing. “My dance instructor told me about this book called Nietzsche’s Dancers. Now I’m working on dance exempla—little stories used as sermons—many of them involving dance. That led to investigating what dance was in the medieval imagination and looking at the exempla as narrative theology. Dartmouth is so customizable!”
“ Dartmouth supports whatever you want to do. The resources are there. Everyone can have their own Dartmouth.”
Dartmouth students manage over 300 clubs and organizations—including 12 different student dance groups
