For most of you, though, you are still searching for your place here on campus. We at the Student Activities Council are here to tell you, no matter what your situation at the present time, you will find a home at Penn. We value the ability of Penn students to affiliate so well in such strong circles. The clubs that Penn students have generated over the years have accomplished so much – winning championships, pioneering innovation, celebrating culture, and giving back to the Philadelphia and surrounding communities, just to name a few accomplishments. We celebrate the fact that our University encourages student associations to thrive as well as they do, but recognize the fact that some things about the club culture here need to change. For the past few years now, SAC has been working with the Undergraduate Assembly and the Office of Student Affairs to address concerns of problems in club recruitment.

  • This Is Dartmouth College
    DARTMOUTH COLLEGE ROWING 2008-09 The Dartmouth Experience Ask any member of the Dartmouth family to define this phrase, and most will struggle for the precise words. That's because every Dartmouth Experience, like every log in the Homecoming bonfire and every snowflake in the Winter Carnival snow sculpture, is somewhat similar yet distinctly different. The Dartmouth Experience is formed by the College's many traditions, like Dartmouth Outing Club Trips in the New Hampshire wilderness, where the newest members of the Dartmouth community are baptized and bonded through hiking boots, backpacks, trail mix - and friendships. Or when the entire freshman class dons jerseys emblazoned with their class year and stands for an entire football game. It's also the multitude of encoun- ters that flavor everyday life at Dartmouth. The Dartmouth Experience comes in the classroom and late-night study sessions in the '02 Room in Baker Library, when 200 pages of reading suddenly makes perfect sense. It's the camaraderie on the river, in the locker room and on the bus rides back to Hanover after a race. It's thoughtful discussions with some of the nation's brightest minds, who turn out to be peers as well as professors. TABLE OF CONTENTS It's criss-crossing the trails at the Dartmouth Skiway, hiking to the top of Mount Moosilauke or walking along scenic Occom Pond. It's watching as the bulk of your wardrobe of sweatshirts and sweaters gradually is transformed into one predominant The Dartmouth Experience . 1 color - Dartmouth green.
