The goal of Lowery's “Imagine 100 Faces” celebration is "to garner awareness for the unseen faces of bullied children and underprivileged youth." The event is part of the Nick Lowery Youth Foundation.
New to Dartmouth and don't know much about Lowery? From the Look to the Stars page about the Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Famer:
Nick Lowery transcends any simple category. Hall of Fame athlete, Ivy scholar, Presidential aide, poet, teacher, philanthropist. Nick was inducted into the Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Fame in 2009. The most accurate and prolific field goal kicker in NFL History when he left the National Football League, Nick set 4 all-time NFL records. Nick’s story is about persistence, focus and passion – before making it, he was cut by eight NFL teams eleven times! He is the only American to work for both President George HW Bush (1989) and President Bill Clinton (1993) in the White House Office of National Service. With a BA from Dartmouth College in Government, in 2002 Lowery became the first pro athlete with both a Masters and Fellowship from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.

The Portal 31 blog reports that Victor Egu, a linebacker who had offers from Notre Dame and Oregon and then decommitted from Cal in favor of an offer from Yale, will play for the Bulldogs this fall. It had been reported earlier that he would have to prep a year.

Sacred Heart is no longer on the Dartmouth football schedule, which is a shame. Not because it was an easy win – it certainly wasn't – but because it would be fun to keep a close eye on what happens with the school's volatile new athletic director. Fellow by the name of Bobby Valentine. The Sacred Heart Spectrum has an interview with the former Boston Red Sox manager, a legendary baseball and football star growing up in Stamford, Conn., where he once served as director of public safety and health. |

(That Certain Hanover High Grad enjoyed an overnight there with the track team a year ago and joked that it's the first time she EVER walked from our home here on the mountain to meet friends.)
My only quibble with the DOC web description is the suggestion that the cabin is "a ten minute drive from Dartmouth College." Maybe if the brakes are shot on your way down to town. ;-) You can make it in 15 minutes, but only if you push it.
