Purpose
Inspired by the 25th Reunion’s moving Memorial Service, Harry Carrel, Kelly Keller, and Alex Rossides formed a new committee called the Compassio committee of the Class of ’86. (“Compassio” is Latin for compassion). The committee focuses on caring for classmates who are seriously ill or have a spouse or child who is seriously ill. It reaches out to the affected classmate in a caring way, offering comfort and compassion. It serves as a support network for our classmates who need support the most.

Give and Receive Compassion
When a member of the class learns of a classmate who is seriously ill, we encourage you to reach out to a member of the Compassio committee to inform us (see email list below). After first consulting with the classmate to confirm that they are open to being contacted by members of the class, the committee will then swing into action. We will mobilize fellow classmates to write emails, cards, place calls, or even visit their stricken classmate. We will make an effort to determine which activities on campus they were most active in, and then try to involve classmates from those activities in our outreach efforts. Whether it be a fraternity, sorority, athletic team, arts or music group, etc., we will make an effort to get classmates from those walks of Dartmouth to reach out to the classmate in a caring and compassionate way.
