Podcasts about dartmouth class

The original aim of this podcast series was to tell the stories of many classmates of the Dartmouth Class of 1996 before our 25th reunion. Due to the postponement, we've had a chance to interview even more people than we thought we could. The Reunion is coming up next week and we can't wait to make even deeper connections in person in a live event and just through normal conversation. The show will be taking a much deserved hiatus.But before we do take a break, we wanted to reflect on what we learned in our 100-plus conversations. First: Who we thought we would be and who we have become are usually not the same…at least when using that narrow interpretation of “becoming” to reflect our professional pursuits or our family unit make-up or things like that. Along the way, some windows were closed, some other doors opened, and we have mostly made our way to where we are NOW by taking those winding paths.But WHO we really are…that's more complicated. On one hand, I would say our guests' stories these two years have shown that while our edges might have gotten honed by way of a personal wake-up call of some sort or another, under it ALL the Values we hold and WHAT we value the most, have generally remained stable over time. And yet, we've all changed a bit, too.In the episode with Jonathon Stewart, we talked a lot about the evolution of people throughout their lives – even ourselves. As Stew put it “we do keep evolving as people. And there are things about ourselves that we may or may not know. [And] life is a continual journey of discovery.”If you haven't been doing this all along…we invite all of you listeners of this podcast to think about the ways you have evolved over the past however-many years. In what ways are you the same person you were a decade or two ago? In what ways are you different? How have the experiences you've had—both fabulous and challenging—impacted which parts of yourself you've leaned into? Are there any pieces of you that you left behind? Was that for the best, or is there a part of your past that you're yearning to have the world get reacquainted with? What essential aspect of what makes you YOU…TODAY… is waiting to take on a larger role in your future? Whatever your answers, we hope you share them with the people you come across in your life. The other thing we've learned from this podcast is that you don't have to have known someone to GET to know them. We are so grateful for all our guests who've let Leslie – and you – get to know them a little better through hearing their stories.Although we're going on hiatus, don't forget you can find the full archive of all the interviews and bonus features, show notes, and transcripts at RoadsTakenShow.com.  Executive Producer/Host: Leslie Jennings RowleyMusic: Brian Burrows Find more episodes at https://roadstakenshow.com Email the show at RoadsTakenShow@gmail.com  

Carmen Lopez '97 Growing up in the Navajo Nation, Carmen Lopez had never heard of the Ivy League when she became spellbound by a guest speaker at her high school: Dr. Lori Arviso Alvord, Dartmouth Class of 1979, the first female Navajo surgeon.    Arriving on campus in 1997, Lopez quickly involved herself in Native American Studies and joined the growing effort by Indigenous students to battle stereotypical language and imagery. After graduating, she earned a master's degree, becoming a teacher. Later, she became director of Harvard's Native American Program. Back home in the Southwest, she now directs New Mexico-based College Horizons, which supports the college and graduate school goals of Native American students.
