Dartmouth MLK Celebration
Year of Connection: Uniting for Equity
In the spirit of A Year of Connection and in response to what you, our alumni, told us you wanted to see from Dartmouth, we're presenting a multi-event, campus-wide celebration of the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This is a unique opportunity for our global alumni family to join with the full Dartmouth community—virtually—in the celebration of Dr. King's life. Please join us for a celebration of Dr. King's message of hope and call to action. There are many different programs and opportunities to reflect and celebrate, noted below. We hope you will join us for some or all of them.
Through the course of 2022, we will bring you more programs during heritage months that recognize and celebrate the histories, experiences, and contributions of the many cultures and groups that make up our alumni body. Stay tuned!
Yours for Dartmouth,
Cheryl Bascomb '82
Vice President for Alumni Relations

Racial Equality and Social Justice Resource Hub
On May 25, 2020, the world watched in devastation at George Floyd's death at the hands of police. It was a polarizing event for our country and Dartmouth, one that spurred a national movement to bring change and end racial injustice and inequality at all levels of our society.
The Racial Equality and Social Justice resource hub--a curated space for alumni of Dartmouth-related resources related to equity, diversity, and inclusion--helps to provide understanding and inspiration for action that has the potential for lasting impact.
Please share the hub with others. It is a dynamic space that alumni may engage with often, and it will be updated with additional resources from the College and our alumni communities as they become available.
Special thanks to the volunteers who provided feedback on the hub in its early stages.
