Class Note 2000
Sept - Oct 2012
Hope the summer is treating everyone well! Since the news has been a bit slower recently, I’ve started to randomly pick a page or two from our Green Book and e-mail everyone to see what’s up. In addition to a nice walk down memory lane for me, it’s fun to hear what folks are up to. So be on the lookout for my e-mail and I look forward to hearing what you have to share!
This time around I heard from Maura Henninger, who graduated last year with a doctorate in naturopathic medicine from University of Bridgeport College of Naturopathic Medicine. “I joined an integrative private medical practice in Manhattan, where I specialize in holistic pediatrics and the treatment of autism and ADHD.”
I also heard from Peter Jacobsen, who’s making an impact in Vermont! “I have been running Vermont’s primary HIV/AIDS organization, Vermont CARES, for seven years, having started as a volunteer. Every day teaches me about family, mortality, health and social stigma. As Vermont CARES expands AIDS housing, starts new HIV-testing programs and educates more schools and colleges every year, I remain so grateful to Dartmouth for giving me tools to make this amazing job possible. Being engaged to Vermont’s chief news anchor is sweet too; we hike the trails in our Burlington back yard every weekend with our scrappy dachshund.”
Lastly, there was a bit of baby boom in Salt Lake City, Utah, in March as four members of the class of 2000 welcomed five babies into the world! Cheryl (Shannon) and Mike Pirozzi started the trend on March 6, when their daughter Juniper was born, joining sister Rosie, who’s 2. In addition to raising their family, Cheryl is a pulmonary critical care fellow at the University of Utah and Mike is a doctor of internal medicine. Then, two days later on March 8, Meghan (Sullivan) Candee and her husband Tom (UVM ’96) welcomed their son Cormac into the world. Cormac has already taken advantage of the recent great weather and has joined his parents on many hikes in the Salt Lake area. Meghan and Tom have been in the area for some time now and Meghan is now entering her last year of fellowship in pediatric neurology. Not to be outdone, Mike and Katy (Young) Evans welcome twins Zora and Noemi into the world on March 28! In addition to enjoying their girls, Katy is an assistant professor of English at Westminster College and Mike works for Utahns Against Hunger. Congratulations to all of you!
Thanks for the updates everyone!
