Dartmouth’s living-learning communities (LLCs) hosted free hot air balloon rides on the Green on Saturday, September 16, to raise awareness of their 24 programs. Even though the airships remained tethered and never rose higher than Baker Tower, more than 400 students hopped aboard for an uplifting experience. “The event gave LLCs and other students the chance to come together, make new friends and have fun,” says Jordan Drolet, assistant director of LLCs.
