Why I Give

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

“I give because I remember what it was like to come from a family that could not financially support my Dartmouth experience. I worked 30+ hours per week while majoring in history and taking my premed requirements. Dartmouth provided me with significant financial support, making it possible for me to thrive. I LOVE DARTMOUTH and do my part to ensure the next student has similar financial support so they can create their own amazing Dartmouth experience!”

Nicole Haig ’95


“I give for many reasons, but one of them is the relationships I forged with so many incredible women. They inspire me, especially my friend Dr. Dianna Rynkiewicz; although she is no longer with us, she is the embodiment of a strong, intelligent, engaging, compassionate, and adventurous Dartmouth Woman. Dartmouth allowed us to be our best selves, and to share our hopes and dreams with other dynamic and lovable women.”

Cary Plamondon ’84
