About Me

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

My name is Sawyer Shaw and I am a junior at Dartmouth College. I grew up in West Palm Beach, FL, but moved to Austin, Texas after I graduated high school. I am from a large family and have four younger siblings, two sisters and two brothers. We like to spend time outside together and recently welcomed a new puppy into the family. As much as I love being on campus at Dartmouth, I always enjoy going home to see my family.

At Dartmouth, I study economics and participate in several extra-curricular activities. I played on the golf team for my freshman and sophomore years until a shoulder injury required me to take some time off this term. I am also active in Dartmouth's Center for Service as a mentor for the DREAM program and an advisor for Early College Awareness. I did not do much volunteer work in high school, so it has been nice to get involved while at college.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my friends and exploring the Upper Valley. It has been nice to become better acquainted with the surrounding area. I believe there people can learn a great deal by connecting with the community around them. I also like trying new restaurants and am always searching for the perfect slice of pizza. I love the outdoors, so Dartmouth, with all of its hiking trails, mountains, and beautiful landscapes, is the ideal pace to spend four years.
