I'm Shreya, a junior at Dartmouth College, where I lead our animal advocacy group. I'm currently starting a Dartmouth EA group and would love to see if there's interest from other Dartmouth EAs in either helping run the club or coming to events!
I genuinely believe that organizing a university EA group — especially at a top school — is one of the most impactful things a person can do (even under short timelines!). Dartmouth is a world-class university with no EA presence, and that should change, especially because there is tons of institutional knowledge and people that want to help!
If you're at Dartmouth, please reach out me at shreyavikram18@gmail.com. I'd love to get on a call to talk about why this matters and how we can make it happen.
Don't take it from me. Take it from this shrimp (inspired from this post) :
Glad to see something starting at my alma mater.
You should correct the post title - it's Dartmouth College, not Dartmouth University.
Amazing post (loved the image)
To anyone from Darty who's reading this and is on the fence: I revived the EA group at UPenn and it's been one of my best decisions. It's easier than you think (& I'm saying this as a freshman). Shreya's very right that there is a lack of EA presence on campuses; if you're considering organizing and think "someone else will prob. do it" or "I'm not sure I'm qualified" I fully believe you're already in the top 10 people who can organize this, and that the most likely outcome is that all 10 don't do anything. Please change that!
