Special thanks to Hillary Miller ’02 for designing an especially cool DGALA Night Out! We will soon travel not to Canterbury, but to the much more conveniently-located Prospect Heights to witness Alexis McGuinness ’03 perform in T.S. Eliot’s Murder In The Cathedral.
After the performance, in true Dartmouth style, we’ll enjoy an exclusive happy hour open only to our group at Beast: Tapas + Lounge. Although Thursday is ladies night at this venue, Beast welcomes all of us! And even if you didn’t go on an FSP or LSA to a Spanish-speaking country, your Spanish will be better after a few drinks at this Yelp-rated 4-star neighborhood gem. If you can’t join us at the show, you are still encouraged to join us at Beast. Alexis McGuinness has agreed to sign cocktail napkins upon request.

Can’t make it to Hanover for Homecoming this fall? Consider celebrating Homecoming in the South with an extraordinary weekend of Shakespeare, scholarship, and Dartmouth camaraderie.
In this multipart event, we’ll see first-rate productions and participate in discussions with Peter Saccio, beloved Dartmouth professor and preeminent Shakespearean scholar, to gain further insight into the work that creates the magic of a Shakespearean play. Professor Saccio will lead us through a literary and theatrical labyrinth of Shakespeare’s plots, language, and themes, discussing their Elizabethan context and the significance subsequent generations have found in them.
The Taming of the Shrew – Friday, October 29
Othello – Saturday, October 30
Henry IV, part 2 – Sunday, October 31
Peter Saccio is the Leon D. Black Professor of Shakespearean Studies Emeritus at Dartmouth. He taught at Dartmouth for forty years and is now actively in alumni education. He’s published numerous books and articles on drama, as well as theatrical reviews, and many of his lectures are available in audio and video through The Teaching Company. Recognized repeatedly over the years for his commitment to teaching, Professor Saccio is the recipient of the Huntington Teaching Award for Outstanding Teaching and the Alumni Continuing Education award for service and dedication to lifelong learning for alumni.
This event is organized by the Office of Alumni Relations and co-sponsored by the Dartmouth Clubs of Piedmont and Central Virginia.

Summer is slipping by and it has been a while since we’ve all gotten together! Now that everyone is back from their summer vacations (or staycations!), we’d like to get everyone together for drinks at a (hopefully) very convenient spot. It isn’t necessarily gay or lesbian, but New York is- and we can make this place gayer by showing up.
You can get there by CE, 1, or any other train really…because it’s practically next to Times Square. And even though Times Square isn’t that awesome sometimes, it is always fun to look out on lost tourists from a rooftop while enjoying a cold drink. Bring your friends/significant others/parents/siblings.

We are looking for volunteers to join one or more of the committees that we have recently created. These are: (1) College Relations, (2) Communications, (3) Development and Finance, (4) Governance, (5) History, (6) Networking and (7) Programming (each described in more detail below).
College Relations Committee
The College Relations Committee focuses primarily on establishing and maintaining rapport with the President of the College, the Board of Trustees, College administration, faculty and staff, and other College entities on behalf of DGALA so that DGALA’s interests can be communicated to and reflected in the College’s decision-making processes. The Committee also advises and reports i) to the DGALA Board of Directors and its Alumni Council Representatives on contemporary alumni/ae perceptions of the College; and ii) to DGALA members about issues of significance occurring at the College. For more information, please contact Mikee Guzman ’06 at mikee.guzman@gmail.com
Communications Committee
The Communications Committee has been created to facilitate communications between the DGALA Board of Directors and DGALA members, inform the college community and general public about DGALA-related news and activities and support the efforts of the other DGALA board committees. To accomplish its mission, the Communications Committee is looking for volunteers to assist with sending out email communications, social networking, maintaining and developing the www.dgala.org website, blogging and acting as liaison with college resources such as the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine and the public affairs office. Volunteers with backgrounds in public relations, marketing, HTML and web/graphic design skills are especially welcome. For more information, or to get involved, please contact Susi Kandel ’00 at susi@alum.dartmouth.org.
Development and Finance Committee
The Development and Finance Committee seeks to help DGALA (1) develop and manage its membership, (2) raise funds, and (3) oversee its funds and expenditures, including setting an annual budget. If you’re interested in being involved in any or all of these areas, please contact Pete Williams ’76 at dartgala@gmail.com.
Governance Committee
The Governance Committee ensures that DGALA’s organizational structure is as effective as possible to best support the needs of our members. The committee is responsible for overseeing board member elections, Alumni Council representative selection, and elections of DGALA officer positions. On the broader level, the committee works to facilitate transparency and increase general membership engagement in the governance of the organization. If you think critically about how organizations are run and have ideas about ways to make DGALA work even better for its members, we would love to have you on board! Contact David Hankins ’05 at hankinsdg@gmail.com.
History Committee
The History Committee collaborates alongside Rauner Special Collections Library to collect and care for material bearing on the rich history of the LGBTQ community at Dartmouth, its three professional schools, and alumni/ae body, DGALA. To advance this work, the History Committee is looking for volunteers to help assist with facilitating discussion amongst alumni/ae and students to share their experiences at Dartmouth, maintaining and managing this information, and acting as liaison with Rauner Library. For more information or to get involved, please contact Jamal Brown ’08 at jamal.t.o.brown@gmail.com.
Networking Committee
The purpose of the Networking Committee of DGALA is to establish, develop and maintain, in conjunction with the student LGBT Peer Mentoring Program and the College’s Advisor to LGBT students, a mentoring program for young LGBT alumni/ae and students that seeks to address such diverse needs as academic and career advice, securing off-term internships and permanent employment and adjusting to new geographical locations. From time to time the Committee may also devise and implement programs designed to bring together LGBT alumni/ae who share other common interests identified by the Committee. To get involved, contact Nick Chamousis ’73 at nchamousis@cs.com.
Programming Committee
The DGALA Programming Committee, in line with the organization’s mission and financial position, plans and executes a broad spectrum of programming and special events for the support, education, advancement and benefit of our membership. To that end, the Programming Committee works with the organization’s Board and alumni/ae membership; current Dartmouth students, faculty, staff and administrators; fellow Dartmouth affiliated, shared interest, regional and class organizations; and GLBTQA organizations at other schools and within the larger GLBTQA community. Examples of past and proposed Programming include regional outreach mixers, networking and career development events, museum programs, movie screenings, sports outings, educational panels, joint events with fellow GLBTQA alumni/ae organizations, mini-reunions and all-class reunions. To join the Programming Committee, contact Kamil Walji ’03 at kamil.walji@gmail.com.
