Dartmouth Cemetery trustee Petra Sergent plays a crucial role in maintaining the cemetery’s headstones. Established in 1771 by Eleazar Wheelock, the Dartmouth Cemetery, also known as the Town of Hanover Cemetery, was maintained by the Dartmouth Cemetery Association from 1845 to 1943, according to Dartmouth News. In 1943, the Association ran out of funds and signed the deed to the Town of Hanover, who has managed the grounds since. Every other week in the spring and summer, Sergent — also a member of the Dartmouth Cemetery Conservation Group, formed in 2022 for headstone cleaning and preservation — ventures to the cemetery for maintenance. The Dartmouth sat down with Sergent to discuss the DCCG, the cemetery’s history and the lives of those buried on campus.

After two years on the Dartmouth team, she earned the Championship seat at a qualifying competition in Newton, Mass., on July 16. The Dartmouth sat down with Thai to discuss her recent qualification, playing golf at Dartmouth and how she’s gearing up for the competition.

About one-fifth of Dartmouth’s Board of Trustees, composed of 26 members, graduated from the Class of 1991 — including some of the Board’s biggest celebrities.

The Dartmouth spoke with some of the ’91 Trustees to learn more about their role on the Board — and investigate whether they might have an outsized influence (or perhaps some friendly class rivalry).
