Dartmouth College is kicking off the celebration of its 250th anniversary with nine simultaneous events across campus Thursday.
Faculty, staff and students are invited to participate at the celebration location that is most convenient to them. Remarks by President Philip Hanlon and other locations will be broadcast to each location at 4:25 p.m., and each spot will offer refreshments, music and giveaways.
The theme of the 250th celebration is “Honoring Our Past, Inspiring Our Future.” Cheryl Bascomb, co-chair of the anniversary events, said she encourages participants to reach out, connect with others, learn something new and think about the way they can impact the world.
