RECENT EVENTS

Successful Annual Dinner!

The DCEFC annual dinner held on May 7 at the Birchwood Country Club in Westport was a great success, thanks to guest speaker Professor Bill Roebuck. Prof. Roebuck gave a fascinating slide show presentation chronicling his most recent FSP trip to southern Africa. Accompanied by one of his FSP students, Prof. Roebuck was able to convey to us the challenges and extraordinary experiences of this group of Dartmouth students traveling to South Africa, Namibia and Lesotho. The dinner attendees were a small but lively group, including one member of the Dartmouth class of 2014, and a great time was had by all. Special thanks to our host Milton Cooper ’46, who sponsored us at the beautiful Birchwood.

This year, admissions once again set new records, with Dartmouth College receiving its largest-ever number of applications for the class of 2014, and accepting its lowest-ever percentage of applicants.

The scholarships are renewable for up to 3 years, and are awarded to students participating in the BPEF’s MAACS program, Mentoring for Academic Achievement and College Success.

VOLUNTEERING

Alumni Interviewers

As you all know, every applicant to Dartmouth is given an alumni interview. We can always use more volunteers to help out—it doesn’t require a big time commitment, and it is a great way to give back to the College. Anyone interested in participating in alumni interviews please contact our District Enrollment Director, Gabrielle Guise. (gabrielle.guise@yale.edu or 256-1558).
