This year she also earned her second Dartmouth degree, a master’s in healthcare delivery science from the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies at Dartmouth.

Our 45th reunion officially kicks off at Chez Volanakis Thursday evening for a brew and wine tasting featuring award-winning bespoke beers and ales from ’77’s own True North Ales as well as wine selections recommended (and we hope donated) by class oenophiles. There will also be significant and tasty hors d’oeuvres.

Other weekend highlights include Saturday lunch on Baker Lawn with fellow cluster classes ’76 and ’78 and a gala cocktail reception and dinner on Gail and Phil Hanlon’s presidential lawn Saturday evening. Make your plans today to venture to Hanover and join the fun. Our goal is to make an inclusive, safe, and fun weekend for all ’77s and their guests. We want to see you there!”
