Class Note 1987

In early April Dartmouth hosted Greenways, a weekend to celebrate 40 years of coeducation at Dartmouth. More than 500 alumnae, alumni, faculty gathered in Hanover and participated in special events and discussions. Several ’87s were among those invited to participate in a series of panel presentations about professional interests and life experiences. Crystal Crawford, program director of the California Wellness Foundation and former CEO of the California Black Women’s Health Project, spoke on a panel titled “The Common Good.” Luanne Zurlo, founder and president of Worldfund, an organization dedicated to improving education in Latin America, shared her experiences on a panel called “Changing Lanes.” Lastly, our class president, Tracey Salmon-Smith participated in the “Scales of Justice” panel with several other attorneys. Anne Schnader and Meg Crone Ramsden were also in attendance for the Greenways weekend. Meg wrote that she really enjoyed catching up with these classmates, as well as meeting so many incredible women from the 1970s on. Next time you are in Hanover stop by the alumni relations office and say hi to Meg; she is currently the assistant director for leadership. 


It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since our 25th reunion. I hope that the spirit of reconnecting with Dartmouth has remained with you since those glorious June days. Remember that paying class dues can help support our amazing class projects, the Class of ’87 Scholarship Fund and Dartmouth Partners in Community Service. In addition, the Alumni Fund welcomes contributions through June 30 toward giving for the fiscal year. Please consider a donation to the College to help the class meet our annual goal.
