I gave so that any student, no matter their financial situation, can take part in and enjoy all the luxuries and opportunities a fantastic education can provide.
     - L. Kendrick Li  on 5/30/2008

Because I will always love Dartmouth.
     - Michael K. Simoni  on 5/29/2008

I gave because Eric Crawford said he'd get me drunk and convince me to donate. Which only means I'd give a lot more than I actually have in my bank account... oops.
     - Jennifer Q. Fisher  on 5/22/2008

I was lucky enough to come to Dartmouth. Hopefully my donation will go to making other student's experiences as good as mine.
     - Erik M. Bell  on 5/14/2008

Because I love this school
     - Jared Z. Dowdakin  on 5/14/2008

Help Dartmouth continue a tradition of excellence.
     - Aaron T. Damato  on 5/14/2008

Giving is a good opportunity to stay involved with Dartmouth as we head on to the next stage in our lives. Having experienced scholarship firsthand as an undergraduate student, it's important to me to be able to give this opportunity to someone else.
     - Lauren E. Wool  on 5/14/2008

Financial aid was an important factor in my decision to attend Dartmouth. I would like the Class of 2012 to receive, at the very least, the same amount of financial help as I received during my four years at the College.
     - Mikhail Belinskiy  on 5/14/2008

what else can you do with dash? laundry? laundry is for suckers. and germophobes.
     - Latif S. Nasser  on 5/13/2008

Mike Heslin is solely responsible for turning me on to giving. If he hadn't sent me a personal message, I would've spent those twenty bucks on something for myself, possibly Twizzlers or demon rum.
     - Nicholas S. Desai  on 5/13/2008

I love Dartmouth!! Whoooo-hooooo!
     - Hayley L. Steplyk  on 5/13/2008

Well I got a lot of financial aid from the College and an amazing college experience, so I feel like I should give back. I'll probably give more later, but I want to get the participation numbers up!
     - Alix L. Toothman  on 5/13/2008

It's the least I could do.
     - Stuart A. Reid  on 5/13/2008

because it was the right thing to do
     - Ryan E. Mahoney  on 5/13/2008

I loved my Dartmouth experience.
     - Michael W. Devine  on 5/13/2008

Senior class gift is an important and meaningful way to give back to the school that has helped me in many ways and allocate where I think it's important to use my donation. Dartmouth shaped my life and I couldn't have been here without donations from past alumni so I'm ready to start giving to future alumni!
     - Claire E. Wildermuth  on 5/13/2008

The alumns and upperclassmen for me paved the way and enabled my experience here - it's time for me to transition forward into that group and give to help those that follow
     - Tim K. Shen  on 5/13/2008

Hard to say no especially with the matching alumni incentive!
     - Alexander C. Cushman  on 5/12/2008

I donated to help enable a new generation of students come and learn to love Dartmouth as much as I do.
     - Laura C. Nielsen  on 5/12/2008

To go towards providing the Dartmouth '12s with the same education I was lucky enough to have received.
     - Emily W. Frank  on 5/12/2008

I gave $50 to the Obama campaign earlier this year, so I figured I should donate to the class gift.
     - Nicholas M. Ware  on 5/12/2008

Dartmouth has really challenged me, and given me opportunities to excel beyond my own expectations. The professorate is excellent, and the courses have been academically rigorous. Most importantly, I've met a lot of amazing people here that I will be able to call lifelong friends. Thanks.
     - Laura H. Little  on 5/12/2008

beat the 07s
     - Michael F. Knapp  on 5/12/2008

It's better to give than to receive.
     - Micheal Olushoga  on 5/12/2008

To stop the incessant emailing. just kidding.
     - Monica C. Murphy  on 5/12/2008

I donated to the senior class gift because I would never have been able to go to Dartmouth - to have such and incredible four years - had it not been for the wonderful, unconditional generosity of this school's alumni. Thank you, again, for such a wonderful, priceless gift. I only wish I could give more.
     - Kiersten L. Hallquist  on 5/12/2008

Because.
     - Kevin R. Walker  on 5/12/2008

Dartmouth has made a lasting impact on me. It's allowed me to follow all my passions and find a place for myself among some of the most intelligent, ambitious, and balanced people. I feel honored to be graduating from this place, and hope others will get the same chances i did.
     - Meredith J. Druss  on 5/12/2008

Because I did an interview for the DVD.
     - Janet M. Smith  on 5/11/2008

I gave because I care. I gave because I had Dash to spare. I gave because I hate beirut. I gave because I give a hoot. I gave because I love Big Green. I gave because I love the FFB scene. I gave because I am an 08. I gave because our class is GREAT.
     - Jennifer N. Cech  on 5/10/2008

Dartmouth rocks!
     - Essien W. Ukanna  on 5/10/2008

I decided to give because 1.) My Dartmouth experience was made possible only by the generosity of others. 2.) 22% is pretty sad. 3.) Our class is full of leaders, supposedly.. so we need to start leading by example and putting our money where our mouth and actions are... Don't tell me you don't have a $1.
     - Adria N. Buchanan  on 5/10/2008

Dartmouth has given so much to me, I want to be able to return the favor, and this is one way to start.
     - Elisa K. McCarthy  on 5/10/2008

Dartmouth has given me a lot of opportunities and I want to help give the same opportunities to others
     - Julio O. Gil  on 5/9/2008

I'll continue to give to the college if the money continues to go to scholarships for current students.
     - Elsa G. Sargent  on 5/9/2008

Because I adore Dartmouth and want to do what I can to ensure that it continues to flourish after I graduate.
     - Mary E. Vaughan  on 5/8/2008

We're the best!
     - Alexander J. Felix  on 5/8/2008

My Dartmouth experience has been so wonderful, and I want to do my part in making sure that other students have this opportunity!
     - Nithyasri R. Sharma  on 5/8/2008

I donated to the Senior Class Gift because I would like the incoming class of 2012 to experience all (if not more) of the wonderful opportunities I've had during my last 4 years at Dartmouth! It is a small way for me to try and give back to Dartmouth all that it has granted me during my undergraduate career here.
     - Glavielinys A. Cruz  on 5/8/2008

It is a great cause!
     - Lauren A. Penneys  on 5/8/2008

Because I like this school and even though I'm poor as shit, I wanted to DVD that Hayley and Nova made. Because I did footage for it.
     - Nathaniel H. Grainger  on 5/8/2008

This gift is in hopes that Dartmouth will continue inspiring strong women to reach their highest potential. I hope with classes 2012 and beyond we can finally let "the old traditions fail."
     - Bailey A. Massey  on 5/8/2008

I think about all the people who made it possible for me to come to Dartmouth, and I would love to have that same impact on a future student.
     - Russell O. Young  on 5/8/2008

Happy to give back a little. C'mon people, support a '12!
     - Dewey G. Hoffman  on 5/8/2008

This seems like a nice way to welcome in the new freshman class. A close second to yelling at them as they circle the bonfire.
     - Rebecca M. Sacks  on 5/8/2008

It was for the smiles on the little children's faces.
     - Irat R. Feiskhanov  on 5/7/2008

I like setting records, and I know the 08s will give more than any class before. We're very competitive, and I like that. I will remember these years as completely thrilling, the 08s have been such a large part of that, living with us, rowing with us, singing with us, working hard with all of us to make Dartmouth that much better.
     - David O. Smith  on 5/7/2008

I realize the importance of scholarships to many students. I, for one, wouldn't be here if it weren't for the scholarships that Dartmouth gave, so I'd like to do my part to help out a future Dartmouth student.
     - Anastasia C. Kendrick-Adey  on 5/6/2008

Hayley and Nova rock and I want that DVD! Plus Watson told me to donate.
     - Barton P. McGuire  on 5/6/2008

I'll miss Dartmouth next year... hopefully the '12s will be able to have as much fun as the '08s did.
     - Elysa N. Corin  on 5/6/2008

My Dartmouth experience has been made possible in large part by the College's generous financial aid. And I want my senior gift, though small in comparison to what I've received, to be the beginning of a long relationship of giving back to Dartmouth.
     - Bo Huang  on 5/5/2008

Honestly, the pizza party/invite to the champagne thing. I figure I've gotten enough parking tickets to last me for a while in terms of donations to Dartmouth...
     - Kristen B. Bulkowski  on 5/5/2008

One of the main reasons we love Dartmouth is because of the people there - the people who make up the Dartmouth community. Contributing to the Senior Class Gift allows us to support those people, particularly a new class of Dartmouth students who plan on having as glorious a time as we have.
     - Corey B. Chu  on 5/5/2008

I loved my time at Dartmouth as a member of the Class of 2008, and I'm glad I could give back!
     - Christopher J. P. Smith  on 5/4/2008

I donated to the 2008 Senior Class Gift because I believe that it is important to lay a foundation for those who will come after us just as those have who came before us.
     - Jamal T. O. Brown  on 5/4/2008

Over the past four years, I've gotten more out of Dartmouth than I could ever have asked for. I'm happy to help make that experience possible for others.
     - Jennifer N. Croteau  on 5/2/2008

Proud to be a Dartmouth grad, enough said.
     - Jeff G. Zhao  on 5/1/2008

I think it is important to support the new financial aid initiative. Even though I am angry that the college couldn't give me more financial aid or help me out with my loans, I am glad that 12s in my position won't have to suffer with loan payments long after they have graduated.
     - Laura D. Reyes  on 5/1/2008

Dartmouth has opened so many doors for me, and therefore I want to be able to give back to the College and to help further the experience of a deserving '12.
     - Jacqueline M. Pound  on 5/1/2008

I would like to gift back to the community, and hope for incoming class to have a great Dartmouth experience.
     - Cresandra E. Corbin  on 5/1/2008

To continue the tradition of Dartmouth students helping others. I was able to attend this institution thanks to the generosity of those before me, and hope to assist others in the same way.
     - Melisa Garber  on 5/1/2008

I felt like I could contribute a small amount and if everyone does, that's great.
     - Kathleen M. Onufer  on 5/1/2008

This is a public way of expressing satisfaction with the time I spent here in Hanover.
     - Lindsay M. Weinstein  on 5/1/2008

To help other fellow young Dartmouth folk!
     - Pamela J. Tieu  on 5/1/2008

I loved my Dartmouth experience, and I want to make that possible for others.
     - Laura B. Crowe  on 5/1/2008

I donated to the senior class gift to share my Dartmouth experience with future students.
     - Caroline J. Lee  on 5/1/2008

A Dartmouth education is a worthwhile, but expensive one. I'm glad to be able to help out incoming students with tuition expenses.
     - M. Elizabeth Sherman  on 5/1/2008

to give someone the same experience I had at Dartmouth.
     - Elliott M. Dial  on 4/30/2008

     - Jeffrey K. Coleman  on 4/30/2008
