Class Note 1992
Issue
Jul - Aug 2016
Our 25th reunion is just a year away (June 15-18, 2017) and great plans are underway. Mark your calendar to return to the Big Green and celebrate. Be sure to join our Facebook group (facebook.com/groups/24226954926) to stay updated. If you’d like to help out in any way, let me know and I’ll put you in touch with Julie Cillo, our reunion planner.
We’ll also send out reunion information via email (and occasionally snail mail); although almost half the class is in the Facebook group, we realize it’s not for everyone. In fact, one huge challenge facing the reunion committee is making sure you are all receiving class news. You might be one of the hundreds of classmates missing a current email address, without even knowing it.
In January I began what I call “the birthday challenge.” I send a daily email to the classmates who are celebrating that day. (The ’82s and ’88s have done this and talked it up at Class Officers Weekend; I decided I also love the idea of getting in touch with everyone before reunion and got on board.) So if your birthday comes and goes and you don’t receive good tidings from the class, it’s because we can’t email you, not because we don’t love you. You can help us fix the problem by emailing news@dartmouth92.org—we’ll add you back to the list and tell you how to manage all your Dartmouth email preferences.
Great news from Valerie Worthington: “I wrote a book about a road trip I took 10 years ago to train Brazilian jiu-jitsu, the martial art I have practiced since 1998. It was recently published and it is called Training Wheels: How a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Road Trip Jumpstarted My Search for a Fulfilling Life. I’m excited it’s finished and terrified it’s available for people to read. I’m told that’s normal.”
Todd Millay, managing director of Boston-based Choate Investment Advisors, received some recent accolades. He was named to the 2016 list of America’s best financial advisors by Barron’s. The annual state-by-state listing focuses on assets under management, revenue, regulatory record, quality of practice and philanthropic work. Todd is also a regular contributor to Forbes, where he writes a column about managing wealth like a family office. Outside of the office he is chairman of the board of InnerCity Weightlifting, a nonprofit dedicated to reducing urban violence by working with young people at the highest risk. He was also the founding executive director of the Wharton Global Family Alliance, the research center on family wealth and business at the Wharton School. Todd adds: “Ed Smith and I are taking scuba lessons together, along with our sons.” Todd is married to Amy (Nauss) Millay and they have three children, a girl and two boys.
Jennifer Jarrett also has good career news—she joined Medivation in San Francisco as its new chief financial officer in April. Jennifer was previously at Citigroup, where she was managing director responsible for building and managing the West Coast life sciences and biotechnology investment banking group. Before Citigroup she was a managing director in Credit Suisse’s healthcare group, focused on the biotechnology sector. In Jennifer’s spare time, she says, she chases after her 19-month-old daughter, Presley.
Only a few days remain until the end of the College’s fiscal year. If you pay your class of 1992 dues and also donate to the Dartmouth College Fund by June 30, you’ll receive a small token of thanks from the class. You can pay your dues (or check to see whether you have already) by visiting our website: dartmouth92.org/dues.
