A Promising Start

As noted here earlier. Dartmouth athletics has received a huge boost with a major gift from the Lewinsteins that new President Sian Beilock and Athletic Director recognized:

Dartmouth makes history today, thanks to Diana and Stephen Lewinstein ’63 P’98. Their historic gift will help us empower our @dartmouthsports student athletes to reach their full potential on and off the field. #TheWoods #DartmouthReunions https://t.co/dnYwq4y9ZK

Speaking of President Beilock, she shows up briefly in a New Yorker story about a major league pitcher headlined Daniel Bard Made an Improbable Comeback. Then He Had to Do It Again. Find the story HERE.

Enjoyed talking with @louisahthomas about @Rockies pitcher Daniel Bard and why we should embrace discomfort.

Whether it's throwing a fastball or engaging in a difficult conversation with someone you disagree with, our brains learn best when we push our limits. https://t.co/tzZou5RW9c

Green Alert Take: Addressing the full athletic department in her first week on campus. Hiking Moosilauke. Spending time with major athletic donors. A Tweet regarding a story about a big league pitcher. Am I wrong or does it feel as if Dartmouth athletics just might be at an inflection point?

EXTRA POINT
Tough to say goodbye to That Certain Dartmouth '14 but after a wonderful visit we are off to Capitol Reef National Park to finish our full collection of the five magnificent Utah National Parks. We'd previously been to the other four but this will be the first time for Capitol Reed.Little time to search out links this morning. From there we head to Colorado to see Sister BGA.
