Just after 4 p.m. on Thursday, the 16 students who remained in College President Phil Hanlon’s office after a two-day sit-in left Parkhurst Hall, following a meeting with Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson. At the meeting, students presented Johnson with their terms of departure, stipulating that they would not face disciplinary action because of the protest, would have access to protection around campus and asking for College representatives to stop referring to them as

“threatening.” “We are not a threat, though we may have been an inconvenience,” the document read. “It is our safety and wellbeing that are daily threatened on this campus.” College spokesperson Justin Anderson confirmed that Johnson signed an agreement with the students. The College remains committed to conducting a campus climate survey, he said, and there are plans for the students to discuss “Freedom Budget” items with the appropriate administrators.

Last night, close to 700 members of the Dartmouth community gathered in Rollins Chapel for a service to honor and celebrate the life of Blaine Steinberg ’15, who died of a heart attack on March 7. Rabbi Edward Boraz opened the service by welcoming faculty, staff and students. After extending his condolences to the Steinberg family, Boraz called on Dartmouth community members

to assemble and share their love with one another in Steinberg’s memory. College President Phil Hanlon then took the podium and reflected on the rareness of death in the College community. Echoing the words of former President John Sloan Dickey, who led the College from 1945 to 1970 , Hanlon emphasized the unity of the Dartmouth community. Hanlon also welcomed Steinberg’s sister Leigh, who was accepted early decision to the Class of 2018. After Hanlon’s remarks, a

number of Steinberg’s childhood and College friends reflected on her life, sharing memories of their time together. Elizabeth Blackburn ’15 said that Steinberg made her feel loved and lucky, while Florence Gonsalves ’15 remembered Blaine for her genuine nature and natural beauty. Carrie Wolf ’15, the last student to speak at the service, closed the remarks from the Dartmouth community by

At the Dickey Center for International Understanding’s first annual Global Health Day on Thursday, in between attending a networking session and panel discussions, students tossed beanbags in the hopes of earning “health care dollars.” Participants, who were each assigned a character with a specific health description, also lost “health

status points” based on simulated events. The session, organized by The Dartmouth Institute for Health Care Policy and Clinical Practice initiative ReThink Health, sought to address barriers to health care access. A pilot program organized through the Dickey Center’s Global Health Initiative, the daylong event included a global SEE HEALTH PAGE 3

This afternoon, faculty, alumni and administrators will gather in Collis Common Ground for the third annual Symposium on Sexual Assault. The symposium, hosted by the Student and Presidential Committee on Sexual Assault, aims to move Dartmouth forward by fostering discussions about sexual violence on campus and asking attendants for their recommendations, SPCSA chair Sophia Pedlow ’15 said.

This year’s symposium, Pedlow said, is divided into three parts: presentations, small group discussions to draft policy recommendations and a question-and-answer session with Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson and College President Phil Hanlon. The symposium is adapted each year to focus on current campus events and culture, she said. “Every year it’s different because it reflects the changes and the progress that SEE SYMPOSIUM PAGE 3
