Barbara Smith Dearborn: A Retrospective Exhibit and benefit auction

The art displayed is from the collection of Mitzi Dearborn. Barbara Smith Dearborn was a former professor of mathematics, artist and alumna from the class of 1960.

The online auction is now open for bidding and closes August 8 at 4pm.


**MWM Hours on Thursday, August 8, 11am-6pm
Of Baskets and Borers: The Past, Present, and Future of Indigenous Basketry in the White Mountains
Dates: May 31 - September 14 

The exhibition will explore the past, present, and future of Indigenous basketry in the White Mountains region. As a museum about a place, our exhibitions seek to present stories about the people, plants, and animals of our region. In this case, we will be exploring the intersection between Indigenous basketry, brown ash trees, and the Emerald Ash Borer.

  • Current Plymouth State donors will be sent a postcard and email invitation with instructions to RSVP. If you're a donor and misplaced or did not receive the postcard or email, please reach out to us at alumni@plymouth.edu
  • Alumni who are not yet donors, or who still need to renew this year, are invited to join our community of donors  with a registration of $50, which includes $20 for the BBQ and a $30 tax deductible gift to the Plymouth Opportunity Scholarship Angel Fund. Register Here.
  • Celebrate your Class Reunion as part of our Donor Thank You Barbecue. The Class of 1974 will be sent a letter and email invitation with instructions to RSVP.

Submit update for Reunion Booklets and Plymouth Magazine

All updates, with special recognition for landmark Reunion years ('84, '79, '74,  '69, '64, and '59), will appear in the next issue of Plymouth Magazine

Reunion Update Form - What Have You Been Up To?

Please use the space above to update us on what you’ve been up to since your last Reunion. If this is your first Reunion, a summary of what you’ve been up to since graduation would be very welcome. Updates are appreciated, especially if you’re not able to attend in person. As a guide to writing your update, think about career or retirement updates, awards/honors received, family updates, hobbies, travel/adventures, etc. Please keep your updates to 5-6 sentences (maximum) and write it in the 3rd person. An example pulled from the Plymouth Magazine Winter 2022 edition: “Mary (McMullen) Thompson ’75 majored in elementary education and was part of Delta Zeta, Plymouth Players, Polyphonic Choir, and Percussion Ensemble. After graduating she was an elementary school teacher and married David G. Thompson ’77. The Thompsons have been married for 43 years, have five grandchildren, and are enjoying retirement in Harrisville, NH.”
