Class Note 1992
Issue
Jul - Aug 2017
Several classmates have been involved in very cool creative projects recently. Aisha Tyler’s movie directing debut, Axis, is on the festival circuit, and she was honored as an Artist of Distinction at the Newport Film Festival. Tim Greenburg’s show Living With Yourself was picked up by the Independent Film Channel and will premiere next year. Chris Walker is back narrating the show Disappeared on Investigation Discovery. Nam Mokwunye’s cloud-based software company PublicVine is powering HitsMeUp, a new digital platform for music videos, founded by Nashville music industry veterans.
By the time you read this our amazing 25th reunion will already be over. We will have caught up with friends we first met in the 1980s, dined on Baker Lawn and introduced our families to the College on the Hill, some for the first time. A million thanks to Julie Cillo and her committee for dedicating countless hours to organizing such an epic event.
The time capsule we buried during the spring of our senior year (and tried to dig up recently, only to find out it had been in Rauner Special Collections Library the whole time) will have been unlocked, and we will have read the letters our younger selves wrote to our (we hope) wiser selves. If you weren’t able to make it up to Hanover for the reunion but you think you contributed something, we will send it back to you. Check our class website for details: 1992.dartmouth.org. You’ll also find info about ordering the yearbook, which was expertly edited by Jennifer Williams and Katherine Aires Byrnes.
At the reunion we said goodbye to some current class of 1992 officers and welcomed a few new ones. We have had five great years under the leadership of class president Jennifer Newsom, winning Class of the Year twice! (She and I didn’t know each other as undergrads but shared a belated “six degrees” moment when, at Class Officers Weekend last year, I said, “Hey Jenn, I just remembered: In August 1988 a friend of mine from high school—your cousin—said to say hello.”) To see the names of our new officers, visit our website. Several of us are staying on board (unless someone stepped up to dethrone us at the class meeting Saturday morning of reunion), providing continuity. Even if you didn’t think you had enough time to serve as an officer, please consider getting involved with the class. Our new leadership structure will make it easier for people to donate even small amounts of time.
By the way, if you read this before June 30, you still have time to pay your class dues and donate to the Dartmouth College Fund. If you do both, the class will send you a token of our appreciation. You can pay your dues (or check to see whether you have already) by visiting 1992.dartmouth.org/dues.
