2. "Collaborating with Native Communities in the Arctic From Ethics to Practical Considerations"

Wednesday, Nov 2

Research Fellowship working with Lower Kenai Sugpiaq people in collaboration with community members at her fieldwork site in Nanwalek, Alaska. The community is interested in documenting
their Sugpiaq heritage for future generations. Dr. DeHass is being co-sponsored by the Institute of Arctic Studies and the Native American Studies at Dartmouth and is working with Professor Sergei Kan in Anthropology.
3. Termly Faculty Dinner
Date: November 2nd at 6pm at the NAH
For those of you new to Faculty Dinner, every term NADs invite their professors to the NAH for dinner. This is an opportunity for you and your prof to get to know one another better. Please make good use of this opportunity! Getting to know your prof. outside of class helps you!
How does it help you? In the short term, casual conversation with your prof. allows you both to see all that you have in common and to learn new and different things about each other. This personal connection can actually improve your grade! In the longer term, you will be looking for profs to be project and thesis advisors, and recommendation letter writers. If they know you on a personal level they will be more likely to remember you and want to help you.
So please invite your prof. to dinner! We generally prefer that each student invite just one of their profs so that they have time to get to know each other. But sometimes multiple students ask the same prof. So, sometimes a student will actually invite two of their profs. Keep in mind though, the purpose of the dinner is to give you an opportunity to get to know your professor better.
In short,
1) Ask your prof to dinner--and hand or email them the invite so that they have the info
2) Once they've told you they can be there, email the NAP to let us know you will be there (this is a very important step in the process and one I encourage you to practice)
3) Show up for the dinner, chat with your prof., eat dinner, and have a good time!
4) Reap the benefits
Let Jeanne in the NAP know if you have questions.

9. Men of Dartmouth Nominations
Dennis Zeveloff '12 and Farzeen Mahmud '12 are looking to interview senior men from the Class
of 2012 to invite them to speak at the annual Men of Dartmouth panel, which
is on Nov. 16, 2011.
Message from Farzeen:
Every human being has lived a life, and therefore has a story - we are simply looking for folks who would like to share their story in an accessible way to others, in a way that shows their reflection upon & appreciation of themselves and growth in their time in this community. The point of such an event is to intentionally give attention to a few members of this community for a period of time, whilst still giving attention to the many who will gather there, in order to demonstrate that we can come closer
together when we know more about each others' lives.
If there is a person that you think would be willing to share their story in such a context, please let me or Dennis know so that we can reach out to them. We will keep their names confidential throughout the interview/outreach process.
Contact info: Dennis.M.Zeveloff@dartmouth.edu, farzeenium@gmail.com
