Class Note 1999
Issue
Jul - Aug 2018
Hello, ’99s!
I hope you’re all enjoying the summer weather. Our 20th reunion has come and gone, and I hope those of you who made it made the most of your time in Hanover. (I wished the same in the last Class Notes, two months early! This is one of the challenges of writing in advance and I apologize for any confusion caused.) We have great news to report this summer.
First, Anne Loomis Thompson is applying her experience at the cutting edge of software engineering at Microsoft to help more women thrive in STEM careers. Anne is working with some of the world’s leading researchers in artificial intelligence and machine learning and found that having female role models was pivotal to her development. Anne has joined forces with other women at Microsoft to create a group called Maven, which brings together women in Microsoft’s artificial intelligence research division to share ideas and enthusiasm for technology to overcome obstacles and grow their careers together. Anne enjoys working with some of the world’s leading researchers and looks forward to helping more women do the same.
Rebecca (Prestel) Antoszewski has also great news at work, having recently started a new role at Northrup Grumman in international contract management. Rebecca was previously at the Johns Hopkins University’s applied physics laboratory, where she worked in contract, project, and financial management for eight years. Rebecca and her 6-year-old son, Chip, live in Ellicott City, Maryland, and would love to see anyone who finds themselves in the Baltimore-Washington, D.C., area.
Finally, Elizabeth (Rozumek) Hammock and her husband, Wells, are raising two New England sports fans—sons Bowdoin (10) and Riggins (8)—in Auburn country in Alabama. For the last 12 years she’s kept her finance skills current by managing her husband’s pediatric dental practice. In April she embarked on a new entrepreneurial venture, opening The Mill, a family-friendly, indoor-outdoor space that will feature food, drink, and entertainment.
That’s all the news for now. I hope you’re making the most of the warm weather, and I look forward to sharing more news with you soon!
