It’s the people who make the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth so special, but without the necessary resources, faculty, staff, and students can’t achieve all that they do.
“The students here are so pepped about what they’re doing and about their studies,” says Betty Fulton, a financial aid assistant and co-chair of this year’s Employee Giving Campaign. “And the faculty is so good at supporting and encouraging students to pursue their passions. When you are surrounded by that enthusiasm, it’s easy to feel inspired.”
Be part of sustaining that enthusiasm. Make a gift to the 2012 Employee Giving Campaign for the Geisel School of Medicine and Dartmouth-Hitchcock.
Gifts to the Fund for the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth support scholarship, curriculum development, classroom and lab technology, and other vital needs. Gifts to The Prouty, the CHaD Half, or any other fund or program at the Geisel School or Dartmouth-Hitchcock count toward the Employee Giving Campaign. Give to what matters most to you.

TO: Dartmouth Investigators, Administrators and Staff
FROM: Jill Mortali, Director OSP & Elizabeth Bankert, Assistant Provost for Research
As announced in previous communications from Martin Wybourne, Vice Provost for Research and the Conflict of Interest Task Force, Dartmouth is required to implement the revised PHS*/NIH Conflict of Interest regulations by August 2012. The new regulations require that all PHS-funded Investigators/Key Personnel**receive education in Financial Conflict of Interest. The new requirements entail significant changes. Education is mandated by PHS for all Investigators/Key Personnel prior to engaging in research related to any PHS-funded grant and at least every four years. One session is required to complete the initial mandatory education requirement.
In order to avoid delays in funding requests or awards, all key personnel are urged to attend one of the upcoming sessions as soon as possible. Attendance will be tracked. Please register for a session by going to the OSP website athttp://www.dartmouth.edu/~osp/resources/policies/dartmouth/rcoiform.html. We are offering several times and dates for the convenience of our Investigators. In the future, on-line options will be made available. However, we urge you to sign up now for a face-to-face session.

Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth Fourth Oldest Medical School in the U.S.
Dartmouth College announced today the naming of its medical school, founded in 1797, in honor of Audrey and Theodor Geisel. Their generosity to Dartmouth during their lifetimes and through their estate plan renders the Geisel family the most significant philanthropist to Dartmouth in its history. Theodor “Ted” Geisel, known worldwide as the author and illustrator, “Dr. Seuss,” was a Dartmouth graduate of the Class of 1925.
“Naming our school of medicine in honor of Audrey and Ted Geisel is a tribute to two individuals whose work continues to change the world for the better,” said Dartmouth President Jim Yong Kim. “Ted Geisel lived out the Dartmouth ethos of thinking differently and creatively to illuminate the world’s challenges and the opportunities for understanding and surmounting them. His vivid storytelling—with its whimsical imagery, fanciful phrasing and deeper meaning—lives on and raises children’s literacy around the world to new heights by entertaining, amusing, and educating. Audrey and Ted Geisel have cared deeply for this institution, and we are enormously proud to announce this lasting partnership.”
