Lisa Hogarty, a former vice president of campus services at Harvard University, will join the College next month as vice president for campus planning and facilities. At Dartmouth, Hogarty will oversee the College capital program, facilities planning, labor relations, operations and management of the Hanover Inn, according to a College press release. Hogarty comes to Dartmouth from Bridgewater

Associates, an investment management company based in Westport, Conn. She said she is excited to take a comprehensive look at the College’s residential halls, outdoor spaces and buildings. “I look forward to working with the team in campus planning and facilities to make sure we are providing outstanding service to students, faculty and the Hanover community generally,” she said.

Students share experiences with sexual assault at annual event B y Victoria nelsen The Dartmouth Staff

Thirteen speakers shared stories of sexual and relationship violence to an audience of over 100 at Speak Out Tuesday night. Stories varied from assault that took place on campus and during childhood to aggressive break-ups and instances of stalking. As part of V-February, a monthlong campaign that seeks

to show the power of individual voices and raise awareness about violence against women, Speak Out serves as a forum for personal stories. Students can send in submissions anonymously and have someone else read for them, though only one student chose to do so this year. “I’m really tired of all this shit here at Dartmouth,” one speaker said. “I want someone to take a stand because I am exhausted.”

The speaker described a night during her freshman spring when a friend invited her to a fraternity’s tails event. After a couple of drinks, she went to a dance party at another fraternity with a group of friends, and a man there soon asked her if she wanted to go home with him. Without fully processing the question, she agreed. Once in the dorm room, she explicitly

In addition to juggling midterms, jobs and extracurricular activities, students participating in corporate recruiting are squeezing time out of their schedules to interview for internships, often bussing to Boston or New York. This winter, 714 students participated in the Center for Professional Development’s corporate recruiting program, center direc-

tor Roger Woolsey said. Around 30 to 35 percent of these students will receive a second interview, 80 to 90 percent of which will be held off campus. Students who participate in corporate recruiting often miss class in order to travel to interviews. Bianca Jackson ’15 said she has missed seven classes so far this term for interviews for a SEE RECRUITING PAGE 2

On Feb. 14, 2007, Dartmouth’s most recent campus-wide snow day, a group of students living in East Wheelock took advantage of the break to enjoy a warm, hearty Lou’s breakfast and have “revelatory” discussions with philosophy professor Susan Brison and an artist-in-residence. “A whole lot of learning, faculty-student interaction and community building took place at East Wheelock that day even

though classes were cancelled,” Brison said, calling it one of her most memorable experiences at the College. As storms have slammed the Northeast without reprieve, hopeful students have called for college-wide snow days. An official snow day, commuting professors, faculty and staff say, would help those who need to brave icy road conditions. Dartmouth Dining Services associate director Don Reed said that after such SEE SNOW PAGE 3
