As the eighth largest regional alumni club, Dartmouth Alumni Association of Silicon Valley (DAASV) was formally established in 1968, but has roots dating back to 1881. As a not-for-profit, DAASV was founded to conduct educational, professional, athletic, social, and charitable activities relating to Dartmouth College. It seeks to extend the Dartmouth experience to both undergraduate and graduate alumni, their partners/spouses, families, parents, as well as current and prospective students, and friends of Dartmouth College in a wide range of programs and events in the greater Silicon Valley.
