I was in the first class of graduating women (1973). I never dreamed I would be so lucky as to have two daughters attend Dartmouth. Each share my love of this truly unique College.Susan Gordon
Why I Give
Gifts of all sizes make an impact. These donors share why they answered The Call to Lead.
Love the idea that women are taking the lead on this initiative. As a member of one of the earlier classes, it feels really powerful to be a part of saving a historical, iconic building which, when built, would never have anticipated women entering it, much less being its savior. I am so grateful for my Dartmouth education and the wonderful sisterhood it has created; happy to be able to give back.Carol Davis
I witness every day that it is still difficult to persuade young women than they can achieve equal to or beyond their male peers. Sometimes women do work that should vault them beyond, and are still under-recognized. We should acknowledge always the need for safe, beautiful spaces for women (and men) to learn. I support Dartmouth's increasing success at being such.Grace M. McGorrian
Dartmouth's liberal arts education allowed me to double major and study interdisciplinary fields. This contributed importantly to my ability to make a successful transition, from a financial investments career to pursuing a second act in a very different field: clinical psychology. Nowadays, I am dedicated to supporting and providing psychological services, mental health outreach, multiculturalism, diversity and inclusivity efforts. I am inspired to support others, in their educational pursuits, learning, and in discovering how they want to make meaningful difference in the world.Dr. Cindy Lin
It is hard to pinpoint one moment, class, person, or experience that shaped my experience at Dartmouth. It is a collection of all of those things, and at any time, one might be more prominent than the other. But in terms of an image, a representation, of this excellent college, Dartmouth Hall stands out at the centerpoint. To paraphrase the words of one of my favorite professors, Bill Slesnick, Dartmouth teaches students how to think. That will resonate with me forever.Davida (Sherman) Dinerman
Dartmouth is home.Leah Threatte '01
My parents are immigrants to this country. I am an ‘87. My niece is an ‘11 and my daughter is a ‘21. We are a family of Dartmouth Women. May this tradition continue as we make Dartmouth a better place for all.Julie Hubble ‘87
I am a member of the great Class of 1976. I grew up in Wisconsin, but from the moment I arrived on campus in September of 1972, I felt like I was Home. After graduating from Tuck in 1979, I lived in Chicago for a few years, but then moved back to the Hanover area and have been here ever since. My daughter, Hillary Joy Beach, is an '09. My husband, Terry Osborne, teaches in Dartmouth's ENVS department. We all celebrate Dartmouth's sense of place and cherish the beautiful natural world that surrounds it.Mary Kay Beach '76 T'79
