Short Answer

College endowment increases by 6 percent

The value of the College endowment increased by 6 percent over the 2010 fiscal year, to reach a value of just under $3 billion as of June 30, College officials announced in a press release on Friday. The endowment enjoyed a 10 percent return on the fiscal year, with a net increase of $173 million after increases in the value of investments, new donations and disbursements for operating expenses are accounted for, according to the release. Executive Vice President Steven Kadish said College officials were "pleased" by the endowment return, since endowment managers had attempted to manage the endowment to "provide ample liquidity and maintain a prudent level of risk." The increase follows a 23 percent loss in fiscal year 2009, which saw the value of the endowment decline to $2.8 billion from a height of $3.66 billion, an $835 million loss. Over the past two fiscal years, College administrators have worked to reduce outlays, in order to limit spending and deficits created by the endowment loss, as well as to reduce the portion of the endowment that goes toward operating expenses. College President Jim Yong Kim said in January that the administration would budget in expectation of a 5 percent return on the endowment for fiscal year 2010.

Jessica Sasha Bright '09 dies at 24

Jessica Sasha Bright '09, known as Sasha to friends and family, passed away on Sept. 11, her father, Arthur Bright, wrote in an obituary for her on the Marlatt Funeral Home website. Bright, who majored in psychology and minored in English with a concentration in creative writing, was born in Seattle and lived in Renton, Wash., according to her father's obituary. Bright loved to write from childhood, her mother, Mildred Bright, said in an interview with The Dartmouth. "She would get into the flow and wouldn't mind staying up until 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning, writing," Mildred Bright said. In her last terms at Dartmouth, Bright was excited to enroll in the writing classes she had always wanted to take, according to Pam Misener, assistant dean of student life in the Office of Pluralism and Leadership. "There were things about Dartmouth that Sasha loved, but she also loved being from the Pacific Northwest," Misener said.

A Dorm of My Own: Streeter 209

When Danielle Short '13 first arrived at Streeter 209 this term, it was covered in cobwebs. "I lived in McLaughlin freshman year," she laughs, tugging on her flannel shirt as she leads me into the small inner room, jazz streaming into her single window from Gold Coast's lawn party outside.

The DDS Detective

The nacho the food with which I have the biggest love-hate relationship. If we had a relationship status on Facebook, nachos and I would definitely be "it's complicated." It's the only thing I want from the concession stands at concerts, but it's also the one thing that makes me feel most like I'm going to boot after I eat it.
