Dunn has been crisscrossing the country in recent months, meeting with Radcliffe alumnae groups in various states, including New York, Washington D.C. and Chicago.
She said the tour is not to solicit donations for the seven-year, $100 million Radcliffe capital campaign, scheduled to end in June of this year. Instead, Dunn said she's been explaining the implications and nitty-gritty details of the merger.
"This round of visits is really to talk to alums about the changes [in Radcliffe], to answer their questions so that the first dean will be able to concentrate on talking about the present and future...and not have to be so concerned that everyone understand what we're doing," Dunn said.
Dunn will meet with the Radcliffe Club of Boston Jan. 27.
