The Dartmouth

By Lee Rom | March 6, 1996

During his first year as a physics professor at Dartmouth, Deputy Provost Bruce Pipes was greeted in class one morning by a student who, dressed in pyjamas, emerged from the cabinet underneath Pipes' desk and handed him an overdue laboratory report. Today, Pipes will complete his 24-year tenure at Dartmouth to become vice president of academic affairs at Franklin and Marshall College, which contacted him during a search held a few months ago.

DATA program works to support transcultural adoptions

By Lee Rom | February 29, 1996

Last fall Unja Hayes '96 founded the Dartmouth Alliance for Transcultural Adoptees, a volunteer organization that provides support for adopted African-American and Latino children in the Upper Valley. Although still in its developing stages, the program has already enjoyed great success and may be on its way toward becoming an official Dartmouth volunteer program, Hayes said. Hayes said she was inspired to start DATA after attending an information session for adopting parents in the area during her sophomore summer. After speaking to some of the families involved, she noticed that in a time when the number of transcultural adoptions was rising, there appeared to be no support group for such families in the predominantly white Upper Valley community. The adopted children did not have many role models from their own racial backgrounds and were often the only minority students in their classes, Hayes said.
