Why I Give

Gifts of all sizes make an impact. These donors share why they answered The Call to Lead.

“Dartmouth is a special place. I give so that others may receive a life-changing educational experience.”

Kenneth L. Mickens ’76

“My daughter and I both attended Dartmouth. I had many great memories of Dartmouth Hall during the pursuit of my Spanish literature degree. One thing that I do remember was that Dartmouth Hall could have been better for the programs offered there. This is my contribution to the language programs and the memory of Professor Rassias, who inspired me to become a Spanish TA. I’m also proud that Dartmouth welcomed my daughter and allowed me to attend at least one class together with her in Dartmouth Hall. This gift expresses my family’s gratitude for the educations we both received there. It’s also a testament to our commitment to the education of women at our alma mater.”
