(Dartmouth) Olympics

We are all over the Olympics, so sick. I love being part of Dartmouth, it's such a community -- I feel proud of Dartmouth alumni and their achievements.

"The U.S. Olympic Committee has hired Scott Blackmun '79 as its CEO. He previously served the committee as acting CEO and as general counsel." (New York Times, 1/10)

"Nine Dartmouth students and alumni named to Olympic teams [this year]... Dartmouth has sent representatives to every winter Olympics since the Games’ founding in 1924.

Outside the competition venues at Vancouver is another group of alumni supporting the Games, including Scott Blackmun '79, chief executive of the U.S. Olympic Committee; Gordon Campbell '70, premier of British Columbia; Max Cobb '87, executive director of US Biathlon; Dr. Edward Merrens '88, DMS '94, a USA team physician; Max Saenger '88, sport director for biathlon for the Vancouver Olympic Committee; and Stephen Wilson '55, an Olympic official for biathlon."
