- WEST HOUSE NEWS
— Our first West House Community Dinner on Tuesday was a lot of fun, as we filled the Fahey Lounge for a night of Thai food and conversation. The next Community Dinner will be on Tuesday, February 14 at 6pm; we’ll have 3 Guys BBQ (and the return of the famous chocolate fountain!)
— Congrats to the West House IM basketball team for great turnout and effort in their first game against East Wheelock. Despite a slow start, the team rebounded strongly in the second half but couldn’t come away with the W. The next game is against North Park this Friday at 7pm.
— Thanks to the Exec Board for organizing a successful trip to the Ice Castles on Friday night!
— We had an enjoyable House Tea on Friday afternoon with yours truly, including a great discussion about the nature of black holes. Our next House Tea will be this Friday, Jan 20 at 4:30 with Prof. Brendan Nyhan (Govt. Professor, contributor to the NY Times’s Upshot, and West House faculty affiliate) for a discussion about politics on the day of the Inauguration of President Trump.
— Last Sunday we had a screening of Sherlock on the West House big screen. Tonight we’ll be heading to McLaughlin Cluster for a screening of the season finale at 7pm organized by the LLCs.
- Mini-Seminars in West House
Please see here the flyer for this term’s AVDF mini-seminars on exciting topics with our esteemed faculty. These are free, informal, and short! and a great way to connect with faculty and each other in the West House community. If interested, please contact Pamela at Pamela.K.Duffy@dartmouth.edu by Monday, January 16.

At 1:30pm on Monday we’ll get together at the House Professor’s Residence for a screening of Selma, along with some lunch and a group discussion. If you’d like lunch, please RSVP to Prof. Hickox (Ryan.C.Hickox@dartmouth.edu) by the end of the day Sunday.
- West House Mugs
We now have lovely West House travel mugs (with our House tree insignia that is an image of the iconic elm tree in between Fahey and Russell Sage). They’re great for enjoying the drinks at House Teas or taking advantage of the promotions at KAF. To get yours, stop by the House Office and pick one up from Pamela!
