“Why We Prouty”
The 44th annual Prouty cycling-walking-rowing-golf event on July 14 raised a record $10.2 million for Dartmouth Cancer Center.

Fulbright Record
A record 32 students and alums were offered 2025-26 Fulbright awards to engage with other countries and cultures.

Mail Drop
Citing inaccuracies in an email the president of the Black Alumni of Dartmouth Association sent to members about a student disruption at Parkhurst, the College briefly suspended BADA officers’ access to the association account. BADA argued that a video of a student being knocked to the ground did not square with the College’s statements. All six house professors also disputed the administration’s characterization of the protest.
