As this Class Notes installment finds its way into your mailboxes, we are mere weeks away from our slightly delayed (yet highly anticipated) 25th reunion! Many of our classmates are looking forward to congregating in Hanover, particularly after years of pandemic-laden separation. Hope everyone can join us in July!

In the lead up to our on-campus gathering, our class has held a series of online sessions oriented toward support of our collective experiences. In late April five class experts in the fields of mental health, child psychology, and parenting came together to lend much-needed guidance to those of us raising teenagers in the pandemic era. Maryam Kia-Keating moderated an all-star panel that included Aliza Pressman, Koraly Pérez-Edgar, Mary Romano,and Megan Mullen as they lent their collective wisdom and parenting strategies during a challenging time for so many of our children. Aliza is a developmental psychologist who cofounded the Mount Sinai Parenting Center, founded the Seedlings Group, and hosts the Raising Good Humans podcast (also mother of two in her “spare” time!). Koraly is a professor of developmental psychology at Penn State University and herself the mother of two young adults. Mary is an associate professor in the division of adolescent and young adult health at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, also with two daughters. Megan is the lead school psychologist for the Lafayette School District in the San Francisco Bay Area (and mom to a young daughter). Illustrious moderator Maryam is not only a mom but also a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in wellness and resilience and professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Thanks to our amazing wellness experts in helping us navigate these challenging times and in raising happy, healthy human beings into adulthood!

Speaking of happy, healthy humans (and Hanover, for some added alliteration!), we have non-reunion Dartmouth-related news for two ’96 classmates. First, congratulations to Kendra Miller and her family on the announcement that daughter Hadley’s “home for the next four years” will be Dartmouth! They are looking forward to the “great adventure and lifelong friendships” ahead of her! Congrats and welcome (even more so) to the extended Dartmouth family, Hadley!

Scott Anthony announced in April an exciting new chapter in his own Dartmouth story. “Last Tuesday I did something I have never done before. I stood in front of about 50 Dartmouth College students, most of them M.B.A.s at the Tuck School, and started teaching a course I designed called ‘Leading Disruptive Change.’ ” Utilizing his expertise as a senior partner at growth strategy consulting firm Innosight, Scott’s half-term, nine-session course incorporates two decades of corporate experience and his recently completed executive master in change program at INSEAD. He’s caught a bit of the instructional bug, as Scott indicates teaching might become a permanent part of his portfolio (while continuing to lead strategy at Innosight).

Lastly, congratulations to Tracy (Canard) Goodluck on her appointment by the Biden-Harris administration as senior advisor to the assistant secretary for Indian affairs, working within the U.S. Department of the Interior. Further congrats to our resident folk artist and cardiologist Suzie Brown (who, like Mary Romano, is also on staff at Vanderbilt University Medical Center) on the May 20 release of her highly anticipated album, Some See the Flowers; her pandemic-influenced work was covered in an exclusive interview in People magazine’s March 31 issue.
