Some alum. entrepreneurs aided by College resources

By Susan Matthews | May 8, 2009

Editor's Note: This is part two of a two-part series on Dartmouth graduates and entrepreneurship. Correction appended The launch of the company Gyrobike, which sells bike-stabilizing devices, would not have been possible without the help of the entrepreneurial staff at the Tuck School of Business and the Dartmouth Entreprenurial Network, according to the company's CEO, Daniella Reichsletter Tu '07. The company is among many that have been founded by Dartmouth graduates with the help of College resources, several alumni said in interviews with The Dartmouth. Reichletter, who attended Georgetown University, said she had limited exposure to entrepreneurship as an undergraduate. "I didn't even know what the entrepreneurship options were, so I took an investment banking job after school," she said, adding that Tuck eventually fostered her desire to start her own business. "Dartmouth is a school that attracts people who would make great entrepreneurs," Rodrigo Ramirez, outreach and program coordinator at Career Services, said.

Dartmouth's response to the swine flu outbreak was similar to steps taken by other institutions.

College flu response mirrored peers'

By Nathan Swire | May 8, 2009

Tilman Dette / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Dartmouth's response to the recent swine flu outbreak -- evacuating students from the Language Study Abroad program in Mexico, isolating individuals with flu-like symptoms and sending a series of e-mails to campus about the situation -- mirrored steps taken at peer institutions. Although swine flu was now been found to be relatively mild, the College acted appropriately to combat what could have become a pandemic, Turco said, noting that health officials had no way of knowing 10 days ago how dangerous the virus might be. "A week and a half ago, we were hearing reports from Mexico that made it appear as if this wasn't your average influenza," he said. Some students interviewed by The Dartmouth have questioned whether the College overreacted to the threat. "I have no fear of swine flu," Zachary Lim '11 said in an e-mail.
