Over 200 individuals — including former College President James Wright, Gov. John Lynch, D-N.H., and 175 members of the Class of 1978 — attended the dedication ceremony for the Class of 1978 Life Sciences Center on Saturday morning. College President Jim Yong Kim also spoke at the event, which took place in the Arvo J. Oopik ’78 Auditorium and featured speeches and ceremonial activities streamed live in two overflow classrooms.
The dedication ceremony was the first time many of the members of the Class of 1978, who donated $40 million to fund the building, saw the new facilities, Biology department chair Thomas Jack, who spoke at the ceremony, said. The total cost of the LSC was approximately $90 million.
Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Michael Mastanduno opened proceedings by praising the “loyalty, leadership and generosity of Dartmouth’s Class of 1978.”

Alumni Council Election
It's time to elect a '78 Alumni Council representative to succeed Steve Adnopoz, whose term ends this June.
Ray Boniface and Anne Barschall have volunteered to stand for election to represent our class. We appreciate their willingness to serve. This is a non-political election, which partly serves to spark interest in the Alumni Council and class activities.

November 2010 Newsletter
Dave Graham Takes the Helm as Class President
From Newsletter Editor Brooks Clark:
Serving simultaneously as class president and newsletter editor over the past year, I realized that we needed to 1) strengthen our class management structure, 2) better coordinate our efforts, and 3) update our communications efforts to better support –
• our fantastic army of agents, who we honor on pages 4, 5 & 6;
• our Mini-Reunions (see page 2);
• next fall’s Class of 1978 Life Sciences Bldg. dedication, and
• our 35th reunion in 2013
This became especially clear in July, when I helped judge the dozens of 2010 class activity reports and voted for the Class of ’79 to win its second consecutive Class of the Year Award. The four 78 officers at October’s Class Officers’ Weekend asked the 79 officers how they did it, and they graciously told us. In gentle terms, we were “studying best practices.” In more direct terms, we “got schooled.”
