#YouAreNotAlone hosted
by X.ado with guest performances, is a grass-roots event responding to the call for transparency and vulnerability surrounding loneliness at Dartmouth.
So
often we are met with the seemingly apathetic stares of students as they filter through their day, going from task to task, in an effort to establish their future and livelihood. Individuals feel lost in the masses and have a hard time believing the community
as a whole cares for them. The D-Plan and academic intensity also contribute to this isolation which can sometimes manifest in severe depression and anxiety. At the end of the day, we ask ourselves the question, "does anyone feel the same way?" "Does anyone
care about me, and if so, why do I feel so alone?"
#YouAreNotAlone
is filled with artistic performances dedicated to talking openly about this phenomenon, and uniting campus forces to declare humanity and connectedness in a seemingly disjointed college experience. We members of the Dartmouth community firmly believe that
those who suffer from loneliness, anxiety, depression, and isolation are NOT alone and there are so many who will join in this cause. We also assert that each individual is wholly loved and freely accepted.
