Hey there Class of 2020!

We hope your winter term is going fantastically so far, and your Sunday is
going even better. We are this year’s Sophomore Trips (Strips) Directors,
and we’re bursting with excitement to start planning Strips this year!!!
With that, we’re going to need help. And lots of it.

So…………

APPLY FOR STRIPS DIRECTORATE!

Wait, but what is Strips?!

Strips is a perfect way to start sophomore summer in the outdoors (see
description at bottom). We’ve already started working to make this year’s
Strips exciting and accessible for people of all backgrounds, identities,
and abilities. If you like thinking creatively about these things, then OH
BOY, do we have an offer for you.

We have three types of Directorate positions this year: Safety Leads (2),
an Outdoor Logistics Coordinator (1), and an Outreach Coordinator (1).
Detailed descriptions are attached in a Word doc, and the actual
application is a Google Form you can access by clicking HERE
<https://goo.gl/forms/qErrGBUx2pHVioq33>.

In addition to specific roles, these four Directorate members will
participate in Directorate-wide discussions and be crucial in making Strips
an amazing experience for everyone. It’s a great opportunity to impact not
only individuals in our class, but our class culture, and how we do things
at Dartmouth as a whole. These positions will require a significant time
commitment (5 hours/week spring term), critical thinking, flexibility,
responsibility, and in the end, will be unbelievably rewarding and fun.

Take a look at the application form, consider applying, and don’t hesitate
to blitz/ask us any questions you have--we’d love to chat :)


Much love,

The 18X Strips Directors

Jake Klein, Libby Decker, Ben Saccone and Sean Madden




Strips, you say? What on earth is that?

Sophomore Trips is an outdoors program that originated in 1999 and is based
off of DOC First-Year Trips.  In the same vein as Trips, it is NOT meant
for only people interested in the outdoors. Strips is a special Dartmouth
tradition that gets more and more meaningful to Strippees of all
backgrounds each year. The purpose behind Strips is to bring sophomores
from all over campus together on a 3-day outing trip at the beginning of
sophomore summer. It's an awesome way to meet new people from your class,
relive that First-Year Trips bonding or go on one for the first time, and
kick-off Sophomore Summer in an incredible way. Strips is the largest class
gathering between orientation and graduation.
