Earlier this year, Palaeopitus Senior Society and the Dartmouth President's Office held the Milton Sims Kramer '54 Memorial Prize, a monetary award that serves to promote “Dartmouth Fellowship." Thirty-six students spread across fourteen groups submitted applications on the themes of sustainability, campus technology, campus health, and interdisciplinary collaboration to win the $3,000 prize. 

	The panel of Palaeopitus judges selected Sarah-Marie Hopf '13 and Kate Burns '13's "Dartmouth Food Connection" as the winning proposal. Dartmouth Food Connection (DFC) seeks to "enable Dartmouth community members to interact meaningfully with each other and the local community, using food as a medium." Their plans include quarterly food donation drives with Willing Hands and the Haven, hunger awareness dinners with DDS and the Tucker Foundation "during which students can donate DBA or a meal swipe and learn about local hunger and food insecurity," cultural potlucks, and discussions with students and guest speakers about food insecurity and other food issues. DFC thus hopes to enable "Dartmouth community members to explore the importance of food to their culture, identity and to social interactions at Dartmouth; promote communication and interaction across campus; and foster citizenship, giving students the opportunity to engage with the real world and to bring their academic knowledge to life through direct service."
