Class of 2015

Luke Katler won a Tony Award for producing Merrily We Roll Along on Broadway! He also loves when other ’15s (or any alumni, for that matter) reach out for theater recommendations or drinks when they’re passing through N.Y.C., so don’t be shy!

Talia Shoshany graduated from her ophthalmology residency at Wills Eye Hospital in June and is headed to New York for practice!

Eli Derrow recently started a new role in the strategy and mergers and acquisitions group at State Street in Boston.

Chris Gallerani started grad school in the fall! He is attending UConn for a master of music in vocal performance degree. Chris shares, “I’ll be taking voice lessons in classical music and opera and will be teaching a stage skills class as part of my program. I’m hoping to pivot to a career in music, especially opera and choral music, and even composing my own music. If anyone is ever around Hartford, Connecticut, or Northampton, Massachusetts, let me know!”

Capt. Joseph H. Carey, an MV-22B Osprey pilot, was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal for his lifesaving actions at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in May. Along with Capt. Steven M. Maire, Joe assisted a man who had collapsed and was unresponsive, initially suspected of having a seizure but later determined to be suffering from a heart attack. Joe performed CPR chest compressions while the man’s wife gave rescue breaths until an automated external defibrillator was provided, which helped stabilize the man’s condition before paramedics arrived. Their swift response and effective teamwork were recognized in a ceremony by their commanding officers at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California.
