Do you remember when we set the Senior Class Gift participation record with 56 percent in 2005? We got the ball rolling - the '08s just finished with an unheard of 92.5 percent participation! Let's remind everyone that we were the class to bring a sense of pride back to the Senior Class Gift and the Dartmouth College Fund. Please give to the DCF today!

To donate, just go to dartmouthcollegefund.org. Questions? Don't hesitate to contact our head agents, Kate Strayer-Benton and Jonathan Lazarow.
