In 2028, Dartmouth will have its first campus building named after a woman and its first named after a Black alum. “Dartmouth wasn’t made in my image, but it is possible to remake it to include my image,” Rhimes wrote in a college news release. “At a time when it feels like people are questioning the value of higher education, it feels important to put my money back into higher education,” Rhimes said in the news release.

Rhimes serves as a member of the Dartmouth Board of Trustees and delivered its commencement address in 2014.
