I would like to remind MALS alumni that it is again time to pay your annual dues. If you do not receive a dues request letter, please contact the MALS office and provide your current address. Your payment helps support alumni activities on the Dartmouth campus and brings MALS alumni and MALS students together. Your help with these programs is greatly appreciated.
