In recognition of their commitments to the Campaign for the Dartmouth Experience, the College has named the six residence halls in the McLaughlin Cluster and the two in the Tuck Mall residences for families whose generosity to the College over the years has supported a variety of initiatives, ranging from endowed professorships and teaching awards to major facilities projects and extracurricular programs. The McLaughlin Cluster includes halls named for the Berry, Bildner, Byrne, Goldstein, Rauner, and Thomas families, and an anonymous gift will name a commons area within the cluster for Samson Occom, the Mohegan who was instrumental in founding Dartmouth in 1769.
The two halls in the Tuck Mall residences are named in honor of the Fahey and McLane families.
"Dartmouth is known for creating a strong sense of community," says President James Wright. "The quality of the residential experience here is a key factor. We're grateful to these generous families for their vision of what Dartmouth can and should be - and for their philanthropy, which over the years has supported programs and initiatives across the Dartmouth experience. The College, and especially the generations of students who will live in these facilities, thank them for assuring the ongoing strength of residential life and learning on our campus."
The commitments of these donors address a major priority of the Campaign for the Dartmouth Experience, the largest fund-raising effort in Dartmouth history.
