Class Note 1999
Issue
Nov - Dec 2018
Hello, ’99s!
I am delighted to be writing my first column as the new class secretary. I look forward to keeping up with all of your news and life stories and sharing them with the class. Currently, I am eagerly waiting for the snow to accumulate here in New Hampshire so I can get my kids up to the ski slopes so they can beat me down the mountain. This fall, however, I had the chance to return to Hanover to meet up with fellow new class officers: president Robert Tichio,treasurer Jeffrey Loeb, and mini-reunion chairs Michelle (Park) Leicht and Tully Murphy. We had the chance to meet with college staff and volunteers from other classes to learn more about our roles as class officers. Experienced ’99 officers vice president Catherine (Maxson) Pieroni and webmaster Danielle (Unger) Buczek were there, too. It was a fun and inspirational weekend, and we came away with lots of ideas and maybe a few Lou’s donuts for those back home.
For those of you who may have children approaching high school or those of you who like to get a jump on planning, Joshua Platt has coauthored a workbook titled Kicking Apps and Making Names: A Guide to Successfully Navigating the College Application Process. According to the publisher, Kicking Apps Press, the book works to “demystify the college application process and present students and families with a step-by-step program for successfully navigating their high school experience.” Joshua is an alumni interviewer for Dartmouth, has 17 years of classroom experience, and was named Teacher of the Year at two different schools. He is also the founder and lead college consultant at Ace It Test Prep, LLC.
Dr. Yuriko Jackall has been appointed the curator of French paintings for the Wallace Collection, located in central London. She had been the assistant curator of French paintings at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. According to www.wallacecollection.org, “Her research focuses on materials and techniques in the 18th century, the history of collecting and formation of taste, and the art of Jean-Baptiste Greuze.” Dr. Xavier Bray, the director of the Wallace Collection, says, “We want to continue to develop the museum as a center for excellence in the study of French art, and we are delighted to welcome a curator of Dr. Jackall’s caliber to help our visitors engage with this outstanding collection.”
In more news worthy of congratulations, Michael Bruno has been awarded a Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) Program Early Achievement Award—the POGIL Peach. Michael teaches chemistry and biochemistry at the North Carolina School for Science and Mathematics. He says, “It is an honor to be recognized by my peers by receiving the Peach award. The POGIL Project provides a unique opportunity for secondary school instructors to interact with faculty from higher education on a national level as peers and equal contributors.”
Send me your news! Or write me a note and let me know how you are spending your winter months. Until next time.
