The Dana Club serves two primary roles:
- Liaison: Acting as the link between graduate students, department administration, and faculty.
- Event Organizer: Planning social events such as movie nights, the annual Harvard-Yale tailgate and department skit, summer BBQs, and more.
Funded by the Bateman Foundation and supplemented by departmental support, student donations, and fundraisers, the Dana Club thrives on student participation. Graduate students are encouraged to suggest events. Recent student-suggested activities include an annual ski trip to Killington, Vermont, Halloween parties, wine and cheese tastings, and an International Potluck. All graduate students are automatically members of the Dana Club, with no registration fees or membership dues.
Officers of the Dana Club serve for one year and are elected by the student body at the end of the previous academic year. The President acts as the main liaison between the graduate students and the department. The Vice President oversees departmental responsibilities and coordinates events. The Treasurer manages the Dana Club budget.
Current Officers:
Ashley Arroyo, Elizabeth Bailey, Co-Presidents
Liz Brabson, Treasurer
