Class of 2014

Hope you’ve all been enjoying the holiday season. As I write this, I’m on the way to Hanover for my first Homecoming since leaving the East Coast for London five years ago. Looking forward to watching a Dartmouth football win over Harvard (fingers crossed), seeing some familiar ’14 faces, and perhaps partaking of a traditional big weekend scorpion bowl.

Three ’14 marriages to celebrate this issue, and I would point out that two of these couples reconnected at reunions—hint, hint to those of you seeking to join the (at least) 7.5 percent of our class that married ’14 classmates.

Erin Henn and Jacob Kupferman tied the knot in Charlotte, North Carolina, on September 13 with many fellow ’14s in attendance. They first met in Meir Kohn’s Economics 26 class (romantic!) and got together after reconnecting at our five-year reunion. Jacob is a sports photographer and commercial mortgage-backed securities trader with Wells Fargo. Erin is an independent product strategy and design consultant.

Shea Flanagan and Steve Beal got married on October 5 at Ragged Mountain Resort, not far from Dartmouth, after reconnecting in the Maxwell climbing gym at our 10-year reunion. They send many thanks to all their friends and family and especially the strong Dartmouth contingent that attended from around the country!

Paige Wilson writes in that she married Max Deibel and they live in Seattle with their little black dog Dino. She recently finished her Ph.D. in paleobotany and now works with plant fossils at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture in Seattle.

And finally, I’ve received an update on Kelly Brait, whose latest adventure took her to the Uhuru summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, the world’s highest freestanding mountain above sea level. She met challenging trails and the unforgiving altitude head-on with the help of friendly guides and followed the demanding climb by camping in the Serengeti.

As we enter the new year, now is a great time to check that your Dartmouth alumni profile is up to date. Make sure you receive emails from our class, announcements about Dartmouth events in your area, and, of course, this magazine, by updating your information at https://alumni.dartmouth.edu/update-your-information. And, as always, keep the updates coming at the email below or at dartmouth2014classnotes@gmail.com!
