She said that while she is here, she is trying to maximize her time to meet with the Dartmouth community, including professors and graduate and undergraduate students.

Ben Lovejoy ’06 spent two years at the Thompson Arena as a standout Big Green defenseman after transferring from Boston College. When he returned to Thompson on Monday, however, he had the Stanley Cup in tow, as the first New Hampshire native to win the cup. At a press conference on Monday at the arena, Lovejoy, a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins, notethat each player on the winning team gets a turn to tour with the Cup. In June, the Penguins defeated the San Jose Sharks in a 4-2 series to win their fourth Stanley Cup. He described planning each day with the Cup as akin to planning a wedding in the level of detail and complexity. “I’ve been planning this day in my head for the past nine years,” Lovejoy said, referring to the nine years he’s spent playing in the National Hockey League. The Cup, which is estimated to be worth $650,000, is accompanied by a security detail of two bodyguards from the Hockey Hall of Fame in North Dakota during its tour. “The only rule is, if you didn’t win it, you can’t lift it over your head,” Lovejoy said. Though many players describe the moment of winning the Stanley Cup as a blur, Lovejoy said he vividly recalls the entire experience. “I’ve been married, I’ve had two kids, [winning] was better,” he said.

Former president of the Republic of Kosovo Atifete Jahjaga, Kosovo’s first female president and active advocate for women’s rights, is serving as this term’s Montgomery Fellow. Jahjaga finished her term as president in April of 2016, after serving in office since April of 2011. The Montgomery Fellow

Program has hosted 240 fellows at the College since 1977, according to Montgomery Fellows program director Klaus Milich. “The Montgomery Fellows Program is one of the most distinguished long term fellowship programs we have,” Milich said. “We have our fellows here for an entire term so that they really can engage with the students and with the faculty over a long period of time, instead of coming for a

RPI launches sophomore summer-inspired ‘Summer Arch’ By EMILIA BALDWIN The Dartmouth Staff

The Rennselaer Polytechnic Institute, located in Troy, N.Y., has decided to adopt an academic schedule much like the College’s D-Plan that will include a summer term similar to sophomore summer at Dartmouth. Starting in 2017, the new schedule, known as the “Summer Arch,” will be optional for the rising juniors of the Class of 2019 and will be mandatory by the time the Class of 2021 arrives on campus, said Linda Schadler, engineering professor and vice provost and dean of undergraduate education at RPI. The school announced Summer Arch in September.

Schadler, who is one of the main drivers behind RPI’s new plan and who has a son at Dartmouth, said the initiative intends to enrich the undergraduate experience by encouraging students to pursue career-related opportunities earlier than they might have with the previous schedule. She said that by having a year-round schedule, students will be able to more easily pursue their interests, whether those be industryrelated or academic. “We really hope that students will explore their passions early on and see what works for them during their away term,” Schadler said. She added that the initiative was introduced by the administration, but students are playing a large role in implementing it since the schedule

is being put into effect in stages. By 2021, the Summer Arch will be mandatory for all students except those who are otherwise granted permission. These exceptions would include some varsity athletes, Schadler said. Associate dean for undergraduate studies and engineering professor Kurt Anderson thinks the efficacy of the plan will depend on how well the university implements the program. While he supports the opportunity to allow students to undertake paid co-op internships, unpaid internships and international programs, he worries about the options that will actually be available during away terms. He said that he especially worries for students SEE RPI PAGE 2
