Class of 2013

Hello, everyone, and welcome to spring—in the northern hemisphere, anyway!

Congratulations are overdue for several classmates who welcomed babies in 2024. Matt Moses and his wife, Rachel, have a baby daughter named Robin, who was born on July 27. They live in Baltimore City, Maryland, where Matt operates an art gallery called Atrium Artspace (www.atriumartspace.com), which he founded in May 2024 with a business partner. Matt adds that “the gallery is located in a circa 1881 historic brownstone, which we completely restored during the course of three years.” Trevor Horan and Elizabeth (Ballantyne) Horan ’12 welcomed daughter Hannah Ryan Horan on September 15, joining twin 2-year-old siblings Benjamin and Madison Horan in Chicago’s northern suburbs. Colin Harris, his wife, Calynn Harris, and daughter Audrey Mei Harris are thrilled to announce the arrival of little sister Sabrina Ling Harris on October 30, 2024, at Inova Alexandria Hospital. Baby Sabrina weighed 7 pounds, 5 ounces and is growing fast. Big sister Audrey is taking to her new role with love and gusto! Julia Melul-Szafman and her wife, Noemí Melul-Szafman, welcomed their firstborn, Aria, in November. Emily Fletcher and Katie (Adams) Fletcher welcomed daughter Eliza this January. She joins big brother Owen, and the family is eternally grateful to Angie Yang, James Lee, Max Sloan, Rachel Abendroth, Sam McPherson, Meeta Prakash, Jay Webster, Alex St. Romain ’14, Hillary Barker ’12, Elizabeth Trandel ’12, and Rachel (Sarnoff) and Jay Dumanian ’12 for keeping them well fed during the newborn haze!

In other news, Edita Robinson and Dan Nycholat were married on March 1. On March 7 the feature film Rule Breakers—associate produced by Divyanka Sharma—was released in approximately 1,500 theaters across the United States. Divyanka writes, “The movie is inspired by the true story of the Afghan all-girls robotics team that defied the Taliban to learn coding and engineering and went on to win global championships.” Eliana Ramage shared: “My update is that my novel To the Moon and Back is going to be published by Avid Reader Press in October. It’s about one woman’s quest to become the first Cherokee astronaut and the ways her ambition alters the fates of the people she loves most.” And Spencer Venegas wrote in from Newport Beach, California, to say he’s recently “enjoyed meeting local alumni at a Dartmouth club mixer, starting a new professional chapter, and getting into a new sport.” A bit cryptic, but we’ll take it!

No news is too small or too vague for this Class Notes column. That may change someday, I suppose, if suddenly dozens of you begin emailing me with updates. For now, though, it seems that the majority of our class is so busy doing things that there’s plenty of space for the few of us who can spare time to write in! Thank you so much for the correspondence.
