Dartmouth changed my life. My Dartmouth experience showed me the way to a whole wide world full of interesting opportunities, places & people and it gave me lifelong friends. Being in one of the first coed classes ('78) gave me useful lessons in how to navigate and operate effectively in the real world.Jackie Kaiko '78
Why I Give
Gifts of all sizes make an impact. These donors share why they answered The Call to Lead.
I am the first from my mother's side, who is 1/16 Native American, to attend college and am born from an immigrant father from Iran where women's rights are lacking, so this call to action from Dartmouth women really speaks to me. I would not be who I am today if it weren't for Dartmouth. The invaluable liberal arts education I received and the everlasting friendships I have made fill my soul. Dartmouth Hall was where I found some of my most inspiring classes and professors. I will be eternally grateful for my time spent there and hope that others will as well.Sheila Bassiri Ahmed
