Hello, ’99s!


At last, the days are getting longer and spring is on the way. This is a season of new beginnings as evident with our latest updates.


Danica Lo took a new job as senior online fashion and beauty editor at Glamour magazine. Danica has long been at the cutting edge of fashion. She worked at the New York Post as a fashion columnist between 2004 and 2010, before taking a new role as launch editor of Racked National, the national arm of racked.com, a fashion and retail news site. 


Carl Cecere took a step forward in his legal career by joining the Dallas-based appellate law firm Hankinson LLP. The firm has been involved in a range of issues including bankruptcy, constitutional law, whistle-blower protections and habeas corpus. Previously Carl was an associate in the U.S. Supreme Court and appellate practice at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld. While there he worked on a range of high-profile cases before the Supreme Court, including District of Columbia v Heller, which established the scope of protections provided by the Second Amendment. Carl also frequently shares his Supreme Court expertise as a contributor to SCOTUSblog (www.scotusblog.com).


Finally, Jason Gracilieri made the news recently with a unique idea. The Milford (Massachusetts) Daily News describes an innovative startup that Jason founded—his fourth since leaving Dartmouth—that supports artists by helping those interested in art find the prints that meet their needs and tastes. Turning Art, a Boston-based company, enables consumers to try out a range of carefully selected prints in their homes in much the same way as Netflix does for DVDs. Those wanting to purchase a print can do so through the company, with all monies going directly to the artist. 


That’s all the news for now. I look forward to sharing more updates with you soon. In the meantime, have a great spring!
