Congratulations to our new class officers! Alyse (Kornfeld) Streicher, our senior class president, will be our class president for the next five years. She lives in Westchester County, New York, with her husband, David, and their three kids (10, 11, and 13.) Alyse is doing some private investing after having run a nonprofit for three years, before which she was with Accenture for about 20 years. “It’s an honor to be class president and I look forward to working with and connecting with many of you. I hope to see you at our reunion next June!”

Kate Chamberlain, Teru Clavel, and Jonathan Weinberger are our newsletter editors. Terulives in New York City with her two teenage boys and a ’tween girl. Her first book, World Class, was a bestseller and the paperback is coming out with some amazing endorsements, including from Arne Duncan, secretary of education under President Obama; Sen. Richard Blumenthal; and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s Andreas Schleicher. Teru recently appeared on Fareed Zakaria’s Global Public Square on CNN, discussing her education findings, “which are even more relevant now: equity, teacher preparation, education funding, and governance, community, parent involvement all through a global lens. Working on my next two projects—hope some good news about those soon. Fingers crossed!”

Two years ago Kate bought her family’s Hanover home in the neighborhood behind Chase Field. “My parents moved to Lebanon [New Hampshire], and a year later my brother moved to Pike, so we’re close together geographically for the first time since our move in 1991, when I came to Dartmouth and they went to Munich.” Kate is a senior director of development at Memorial Sloan Kettering, working to use data to inform strategy and investment in the hospital’s fundraising operation. “Hanover has been an interesting vantage point for this dramatic year. The town without students is such a different place, yet the Baker bells are still ringing. I’m singing with the Handel Society again (or will be when it’s safe to do so) fighting invasive species in my yard, and learning about the local N.H. political scene. At the moment we’re mobilizing to ensure everyone will be able to vote in the fall.”

Steve Fagell is joining Lou Spelios as co-head agent. Steve lives in Bethesda, Maryland, with his wife, Phyllis (Steinberg) Fagell, and their three children. “We’re very excited that my oldest, Ben, will be a Dartmouth ’24 in the fall! I work in Washington, D.C., at the law firm Covington & Burling LLP, where I serve as global co-chair of the white collar defense and investigations practice group. Phyllis is the author of Middle School Matters (Hachette, 2019), regularly contributes to The Washington Post and other national publications on parenting issues, and serves as the counselor at the K-8 Sheridan School.”

Our treasurer, Rose Mitchell, lives in Hillsborough, New Jersey, not far from Princeton, with her husband of two years, Jeff, and their rescue dogs Marty and Amelia. Rose is a pediatric optometrist at University Children’s Eye Center, where she’s worked for the past 13 years. Rose will do double-duty, since she decided to run for class treasurer while serving as our reunion treasurer, which is still needed since we haven’t had our reunion yet!

And speaking of reunions, our class reunion book online will be kept open through next summer, so please start or update your page anytime. If you have questions about it, drop me a line. More from our other new officers in the next issue. In the meantime, keep your news coming!
