The Dartmouth Club of Greater Boston

General Events

DCGB Board Meetings: The Board generally meets on the second Tuesday of every month (except July) in order to plan events and manage the affairs of the Club. Meetings are open to all Members. Even if you cannot attend a meeting, the Board would appreciate hearing your ideas and suggestions (and complaints) which you may share with any Director (you may contact Executive Committee members here).

Alumni/ae Interviewing: Volunteers are needed to interview candidates for admission as well as to represent Dartmouth at local college fairs. We welcome all alums to interview but are especially looking for interviewers in the Attleboro / Seekonk / Taunton, Andover / Lowell / Wilmington / Wakefied / Winchester, as well as the Lexington and Milton areas. Interested alums should contact Andrea Lordan D'86.

T-Shirt Delivery: Share your Dartmouth experience with newly admitted students and their parents. Club members deliver Dartmouth T-Shirts to accepted applicants in December shortly after early-decision notifications are sent and again in April shortly after regular-decision notifications are sent. Please contact Andrew Horne D'87 for more information. It is important to re-register as a volunteer each year. Volunteers may find additional information here.

Dartmouth Book Awards: Each year the Dartmouth Club of Greater Boston provides Book Awards for deserving high school juniors. Our Club's Book Award program serves over 120 secondary schools and is the largest in the nation. There is a great need for volunteers to interact with the schools in Abington, Bedford, Billerica, Lowell, Melrose, Methuen, and Winchester. Alums who would enjoy speaking with local school administrators about the program should contact the Rev. Don Fitzsimmons D'46.
