A Grassroots Effort, Led by Women, Restores a Dartmouth Jewel

In fall 2022, Dartmouth Hall, one of the most iconic and recognizable buildings on campus, celebrated a top-to-bottom renovation thanks to the largest alumnae-led fundraising effort in the College’s history. The effort to spruce up a building that was first completed in 1791, and rebuilt after a fire in 1904, began in 2018. That’s when a core group of alumnae challenged Dartmouth women to raise $25 million to support the renovation. Of the more than 3,200 donors who answered that call, 2,712 were alumnae, joined by parents, friends, and families. All told, they raised more than $26 million. The building, which once hosted a lecture by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., is now home to the Leslie Center for the Humanities and the departments of German Studies, French and Italian, and Spanish and Portuguese.
