Class Note 2000
Issue
Mar - Apr 2018
First, some baby news. Mike Holmes and his wife, Lindsay McHenry ’98, welcomed their first child, Arthur Gareth McHenry Holmes, in September. Mike and Lindsay have been living in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, area since 2005. Lindsay is an associate professor of geosciences at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, and Mike is an application developer at mortgage insurer MGIC Investment Corp.
On the professional side, Anne Mullins accepted a new role as an associate professor at the Stetson University College of Law in Gulfport, Florida. She will be joining its nationally ranked legal writing program and relocating with her family from their current home in Grand Forks, North Dakota, this summer. Anne wins the prize for “most dramatic change in climate” in this issue. Sarah Stroup recently published a book, The Authority Trap: Strategic Choices of International NGOs. It’s a discussion of the challenge faced by leading non-governmental organizations such as Greenpeace and Amnesty International, which must balance their willingness to take radical positions against accumulated authority and ongoing power. She is an assistant professor at Middlebury College, where she teaches coursework in political economy, international organization and other topics. Ryan Smerek also has written a new book, titled Organizational Learning and Performance: The Science and Practice of Building a Learning Culture. Ryan is an assistant professor at Northwestern University, where he is also assistant director of academic affairs. Steven Fox has been named the new director of the Cathedral Choral Society, the symphonic chorus in residence at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. The 140-voice chorus is the oldest symphonic choral group in the capital. Steven is still the director of the choral group Clarion in New York, as well, and he was married in October. Congratulations all around, Steven!
Thanks for all of the news, and I hope to hear more for my next column!
