DAASV at CAGOW 2/10-13/11

After arriving at Boston's Logan Airport, a significant part of the DAASV contingent filled their time before the Dartmouth Coach would arrive at Legal Sea Food's Terminal B bistro - getting fueled for the next hop.

Ready to go, the eager travelers are awaiting the arrival of the Dartmouth Coach.

Here's the comfortable, well-equipped ride that will take us to Hanover, NH. Power outlets, WiFi, Movie, snacks - what's not to like.

CAGOW is during Winter Carnival, obviously a special weekend as the green light is on in the tower - beyond the castle sculpture on the Green.

The Swenberg's get a ride from Hanvoer Inn to their hotel.

Some of us stayed at the Hampton Inn in White River Junction, VT. There was definitely snow for Winter Carnival.

A mandatory tradition, we saw friends Drew, Dick, and Ruth when we stopped for breakfast at Lou's.

The brand new hotel, Six South Street, hosted many of the DAASV group in Hanover, NH.

Don, General Manager, and Whitni were among the welcoming staff.

The alumni center, where we all gathered to get our meeting materials and find out about final schedule changes.

Our first session, to pick up materials kits, sign up for sessions, and get our badges, was in the Zimmerman Lounge in the alumni center.

Andrew FLynn '07 was helping out in the distribution center.

While Andrew and Alan replaced some pages in binders, the Alumni Relations crew was ready with badges and other essential supplies for the meetings.

Outside, on the way to our first sessions, we enjoyed the scenery - Dartmouth Hall and the castle ice sculpture.

For many of us first-timers, Sue Young '77, P'10 provided an introduction to the CAGOW sessions and a roadmap of planned events.

An introduction to the Admissions organization, procedures, and policies was next. Maria Laskaris, Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid, provided an exceptionally detailed presentation and answered questions, followed by a reception.

There were lots of questions for the Admissions organization.

Next, the CAGOW attendees received a presentation by Dartmouth College President Jim Yong Kim.
