Clubs & Groups

I hope everyone is getting through these challenging times.

Given the restrictions on gathering, Dartmouth clubs and groups largely did not hold events. A few were able to transition some meetings to virtual events.

The Dartmouth Alumni Association of San Diego hosted a Zoom graduation party on June 14. Unfortunately, only one 2020, Mary Tobin ’20, was able to join. Also on the call were Neil Tarzy 76, club president, Stuart Yee ’03, Roger Usborne ’62, Maren Christensen ’83, and Peter Nytzen, Tu’89.

The Dartmouth Club of Suburban New Jersey had its very first virtual event in May. David Dietze 78, club president, served as host, and after introductions, Marco Zarbin 78, M.D., provided insights on how the pandemic is affecting New Jersey. Bill Cunningham 78 previewed a possible future talk on wildflowers in New Jersey. Jonathan Rabinowitz 74 discussed preliminary plans for next year’s annual seminar plus semi-annual luncheon events, and Tara Gulla ’95 gave an update on Dartmouth’s fastest-growing affiliated group, Women of Dartmouth. They also heard about how the latest admission cycle worked out in New Jersey.

Women of Dartmouth organized several virtual events recently. One was a workshop titled “While Navigating Uncharted Waters” on May 8 with Dr. Catherine Florio Pipas, DMS’11,

an award-winning faculty member at the Geisel School of Medicine and the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice. Karyn Crosby, Tu’14, also launched an international, virtual book club for Women of Dartmouth that has more than 250 participants.

Please stay safe and send me updates about the great virtual events that your club, association, or affiliated group has organized.
