Gifts of all sizes make an impact. These donors share why they answered The Call to Lead.
“I started skiing at a young age, and it was a family activity that began when my father learned to ski at Dartmouth in the 1930s. Skiing is so integral to the identity of the College and the quality of life in the Upper Valley. Supporting the Skiway helps ensure that it can continue to be a vital asset for the College and the community.”John Engelman ’68
"I am so grateful to have had the good fortune of being a student at Dartmouth! And it was where I gained a lifelong love for skiing. Incidentally, tuition and skiing were both a financial strain for me. Having worked in the ski industry for many years, I know first-hand how tough it is financially! If I can help—even a little bit—those who work and play in the industry, it feels good."Don Cole ’69
“The Kings and the college have been very generous with my scholarship, but helping others doesn't have to wait till graduation.”Janel Perez ’22
“Buddy Teevens is the Best College Football Coach in the country. His program excels in all of the right ways: ethically, student-athlete welfare, innovation, and on-field performance. I’m proud to be associated with such a classy effort.”Rick Gerardi ’74
“My Dartmouth experience opened so many doors for me. I think it's important for me to make sure the institution endures and that I open doors for others.”Sindhura Kodali ’08
“Dartmouth was a wonderful experience for me, as well as for my kids. I want to keep that experience available to others.”Julia Geer ’75
“Dartmouth is an immensely wealthy and ambitious institution. Its undergraduates are privileged in ways they may not fully appreciate for years to come. However, not all possess the financial resources to get them through their ever-more-costly Dartmouth experience, beyond scholarship support. Sometimes even a few hundred dollars can make a critical difference to a student confronted with necessary and unexpected expenses. The College's Student Expenses Support Fund recognizes and addresses this need, and is worthy of its alumni's support.”Samuel C. Dixon ’81
