Convocation, Dartmouth Community Cookout, and Residence Hall Dedication

The new academic year will be launched in unusually festive fashion on Tuesday, September 19, with a series of events beginning with Convocation in the morning, followed by the traditional Community Cookout hosted by President James Wright and Susan DeBevoise Wright, and an afternoon dedication ceremony for Dartmouth's newest student housing facilities: the McLaughlin Residential Cluster and the Tuck Mall Residence Halls. At the dedication ceremony, Acting Dean of the College Dan Nelson '75 will preside, President James Wright and Student Body President Tim Andreadis ’07 will speak, and Trustee Nancy Kepes Jeton ’76 will accept the facilities on behalf of the Board of Trustees. Receptions and open houses at the new residence halls will continue into the afternoon. The McLaughlin Cluster is at the corner of Maynard and College Streets, and the Tuck Mall Complex is across from the Gold Coast residence halls on Tuck Mall.
