As we read this, we might be at our 30th reunion. So if you see Andrew Schulz, the associate dean for research of the Penn State University College of the Arts, congratulate him on being elected to the board of directors of the College Art Association. Also on the academic side, Jeff Weiss was named as the next president of Lesley University in Boston and will begin his tenure on July 1. Jeff said, “This is “truly a 24/7 job, so, I am leaving (after close to 28 years with my truly wonderful partners and colleagues) Vantage, Tuck and West Point.” Jeff also recently published the HBR Guide to Negotiating and is working on a new book on leadership. Give a rouse for Liz McClintock, who wrote: “I defended my doctoral dissertation in December 2015 and am now officially a Ph.D. I received my doctorate in international relations from the Fletcher School at Tufts University and I will be hooded at graduation in May. The title of my dissertation is ‘Securing the Space for Political Transition: The Evolution of Civil-Military Relations in Burundi.’ ” Liz is managing partner of CMPartners LLC, and executive director and chair of the board of directors of the Bridgeway Group. Davida Sherman Dinerman is proud to share that her daughter will be attending the University of Rhode Island this fall, majoring in nutrition on the nursing track. David Beach wrote, “I am appearing in Something Rotten on Broadway and will be for the foreseeable future. My husband of almost 28 years (gulp!), Russell Granet, and I have a 7-year-old daughter who also wants to get to the reunion to hang out with her godmother, Laura Gillespie. Since this is a big reunion year, we’ll see some transition in class officers. Here’s a quick message from our wonderful outgoing president, Kendall Burney Wilson: “Thank you to the 2011-16 executive committee of Harry Carrel, Krista Thomas Corr, Davida Dinerman, Chip Fleischer, Gary Greene, Mark Greenstein, Andrea Lordan, Liz McClintock, Jenny Plath, Walter Tsui, Nancy Stein Woolf and Stephen Von Oehsen for a successful tenure in which we focused on strengthening the bonds between members of our class as well as our bonds with the College. In order to do so, we took various actions, including creating the very active Compassio Committee that meets bimonthly; instigating a huge, annual Homecoming Weekend gathering that more than 100 people attended; launching random acts of kindness; actively supported Dartmouth Partners in Community Service (DPCS) each year of our tenure; adopting Dean Rebecca Biron as an honorary member of our class; and most recently, setting up the class of 1986 endowment for DPCS—a gift that ensures our lasting legacy at the College. Details of these endeavors can be found in the recent class newsletter that was mailed in April. Good luck to incoming president Mike McTernan, vice presidents Wini Welch Kinney and Nancy Stein Woolf, secretary Mabelle Drake Hueston and treasurer Todd Gomez. I know they will do a fantastic job leading our class during the next five years. Thank you also to our hardworking Dartmouth College Fund volunteers Peter Gibson, Jessica Healy and Lanie McNulty, who have taken an innovative, successful approach to raising money for the College. Finally, thank you to Mike McTernan, Sarah Page and the entire 30th reunion committee for an awesome reunion weekend in Hanover in June!”
