'82 News and V Iews December 2017 Fall 2016 Happy Holidays ! In case you missed the previous two email messages, here we are hoping to find you through the Class Newsletter. “2018” means… drum roll… annoying anticipatory pause… We are only 6 months from our 35th REUNION!!!! In an effort to inspire you to come back to Hanover the weekend of June 14- 17, we’ve included some tantalizing information inside. Check out highlights of events planned for the weekend based on responses from our survey of classmates on what they liked most about past reunions and want to see at this one. In addition, there are fun photos of classmates who came to our 30th reunion. Please put June 14-17 on your calendars and plan to come back and ex- perience Hanover all over again. And remember that the best way to experi- ence Hanover all over again is with the people who were here with us the first time around. Call, write, go ahead and hound people you want to see at reunion and CONVINCE THEM TO BE HERE IN JUNE! Underlying most of the responses to our survey about what classmates liked most about past reunions was a desire to reconnect with old friends and get to know class- mates they had not met or known before. So we’re planning a schedule with that in mind and the rest is up to all of us. Get ready, get excited and get your classmates to Hanover in June. Because after all, we are: FOR MORE NEWS ABOUT THE UPCOMING REUNION AND PHO- TOS FROM THE 30th, PLEASE Table of Contents 82 News & Views 2 35th Reunion News 4 DARTMOUTH CLASS OF 1982 82 Mini Gatherings 6 Life Spent Abroad 8 Chat in the Hat 9 BTS Update 10 ‘82 News and Views ‘82 News ‘82 NEWS AND VIEWS CONGRATULATIONS to Hizzoner Bill Cole, re- cently elected mayor of Billings, MT. Mike Berg caught up with Bill for this Chat in the Hat: MB: Congratulations! Why was the race so unusually hard-fought? What issues did you fo- cus on that you sensed voters really responded to? BC: Most local elections are about as exciting as eating rice cakes. In my case there was no incumbent, so a primary was held to winnow six candidates down to two. In the general election I faced off against a formidable opponent. (please turn to p.9) Carolyn Wilcox Galiette has taken on the role of chairman of the Board of Governors of the Small Busi- ness Investor Alliance (SBIA). She has served on the SBIA board since 2011, working to provide a voice in Washington for lower middle market investors and small businesses. In her day-to-day role, she serves as presi- dent, chief investment officer and a founding partner of Ironwood Capital, a private equity firm in Avon, CT that invests in lower middle market companies. As chair- man of the SBIA, one of her most important responsibili- ties is to raise awareness of what the SBIA is, what it does, who it works with and why it is important. For an overview of the SBIA, please go here. Veteran managed-care executive Gail Koziara Boudreaux will be named the next leader of insurance giant, Anthem, Inc. Gail is well-known among managed-care investors, previously serving as chief executive of the biggest U.S. health insurer, the insurance arm of United Health Group, Inc. She is regard- ed as a strong operator, and she has experience overseeing Blue Cross Blue Shield plans like those that Anthem operates. Gail left UnitedHealth in 2015, at a time when some analysts said the company was facing challenges with its Medicare business. She left with a two-year noncompete agreement, according to a filing that UnitedHealth made when her depar- ture was announced. Before coming to UnitedHealth in 2008, Gail was an executive at Health Care Service Corp.—like An- them, the parent of Blue Cross Blue Shield plans—which gave her an understanding of the how Blue insurers work. Gail’s UnitedHealth experience may be appealing to Anthem be- cause of its burgeoning Optum health-services arm; other in- surers are eager to add similar operations.

  • Jeffrey Hart ʻ51 Professor of English Emeritus
    Jeffrey Hart ʻ51 Professor of English Emeritus An Interview Conducted by Jane Carroll July 15, 1997 July 18, 1997 DOH-11 Special Collections Dartmouth College Hanover, New Hampshire Jeffrey Hart Interview INTERVIEW: Jeffrey Hart ʻ51 INTERVIEWED BY: Jane Carroll PLACE: Baker Library Hanover, New Hampshire DATE: July 15, 1997 CARROLL: Today is July 15, 1997, and I am speaking with Jeffrey Hart, Class of ʻ51 and Professor of English, Emeritus. I am curious how you came to choose Dartmouth as the institution for undergraduate learning. HART: It was chosen for me. My father went to Dartmouth, Class of 1921 [Clifford F. Brown ʻ21]. Then he went to Columbia School of Architecture and got his Bachelor of Architecture there; but he was extremely loyal to Dartmouth and I felt that his four years at Dartmouth were probably the happiest of his life. He always seemed to be seriously connected with Dartmouth and I was, as a matter of fact, registered or enrolled in the Class of whatever, enrolled at Dartmouth when I was born. So I grew up understanding that I would go to Dartmouth. However there was a bump in that road since I got heavily involved with junior competitive tennis and felt that I probably would like to go to Stanford. His position was that I could go to Stanford. That would be fine, but he wouldnʼt pay for it. [Laughter] I could go to Dartmouth or I could go to Harvard if I got a scholarship. I did get some kind of tuition break at Dartmouth and that was the best deal, and I was perfectly happy to go to Dartmouth.

  • Faith, Reason, and Vocation
    The Conference 2011 Wheelock integrating faith, reason, and vocation Saturday, May 7 Located at Dartmouth College’s Tuck School of Business www.wheelockconference.org 7 May 2011 The Dartmouth Apologia and The Eleazar Wheelock Society present The Wheelock Conference Integrating Faith, Reason, and Vocation Welcome We at the Dartmouth Apologia and the Eleazar Wheelock Society believe that the Christian worldview offers a rational, viable, and liberating foun- dation for integrating faith, learning, and life. In these organizations, we seek to: - elevate reason and academic rigor - stimulate constructive dialogue about faith - encourage ethical development in service and leadership - engage students, faculty, alumni, and community members in a network of mutually beneficial relationships, personal and professional We support students in the exploration of Christian thought, integrating life and learning, ethics and vocation, faith and reason. We develop learn- ing opportunities anchored in scholarly inquiry, historical accuracy, and critical thought. We believe that these opportunities will create an envi- ronment of intellectual curiosity and the authentic pursuit of truth. Stu- dents on the Dartmouth campus are already discovering the implications of the Christian faith on life’s moral, vocational, and civic dimensions. In April 2010, we hosted the inaugural Wheelock Conference, bring- ing together prominent alumni and leading scholars to share how they integrate faith and reason to find meaning and purpose in their voca- tions. For students, the conference introduced a new kind of dialogue, one that engages the heart and mind together. This year, we hope to expand on this beginning by offering new sessions and extended time for networking and interaction, and engaging participants from across the Dartmouth community.
