Dartmouth Receives $1 Million for Gay and Lesbian Programs

Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, has received a $1 million gift toward programming and support for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender students from San Francisco software strategist Roger B.A. Klorese, a member of the Dartmouth Class of 1977, and his partner David L. Haney, a professional cellist and composer.

The Roger B.A. Klorese ’77 and David L. Haney (DePauw ’88) Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Program Fund will be used to support educational, cultural, and social programming for GLBT students; to provide education about GLBT concerns to the Dartmouth community; and to secure on a permanent, full-time basis an existing part-time administrative position to coordinate these efforts.

Roger Klorese is director of Product Marketing for VMware of Palo Alto, California, and the founder of the nonprofit QueerNet Project. David Haney is a cellist with the Redwood (California) Symphony and a member of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus.

The gift from Klorese and Haney is the second large gift of its kind to Dartmouth this year. In February, the college received $250,000 when the Edward Carpenter Memorial Foundation, which had been established in 1985 for the enhancement of the lives of gay students at Dartmouth, transferred its assets to the school.

"Roger B.A. Klorese '77 and David L. Haney Give $1 Million to Support Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Program." Dartmouth University News Release 10/23/2000.
