Starting us off, Stephanie Lee was married in May 2011 to Peter McKay and a number of Dartmouth alums came to the wedding in Brooklyn, including Dan Scholnick, David Kover, Dagny Dingman ’02, Kate (Winter) Shamberger, Jason Shamberger ’99 and Andrew Perlstein. “Later in the year my husband and I moved to San Francisco for new jobs. He now works in development at the Asian Art Museum and I started my own quantitative graphic consulting company, Levinson Lee Consulting. I work with litigators, economic expert witnesses and businesses to present information in a clear way and persuade with data. Dartmouth Lawyers Association, I’m looking at you!”


As many of you know, our class was awarded the Roger C. Wilde 1921 Reunion Award for setting a new Dartmouth fundraising record at our reunion last year. We need to find a new trophy case, as our class president, Susi Kandel, was awarded the Dartmouth Young Alumni Distinguished Service Award! This award is given annually three alumni who have demonstrated extraordinary service to Dartmouth. The first Young Alumni Award was presented in 1990, and since then 47 alumni have been honored.


Susi was presented with the award during Class Officers Weekend in September. Here’s an excerpt from her award: “You have kept Dartmouth at the forefront of your volunteerism, continuously striving to make it a better place for both fellow alumni and current students. It all started with your involvement with the organization nearest and dearest to you, the Dartmouth Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Alumni/ae Association (DGALA). You served as president for five years, during which time DGALA successfully celebrated its 25th anniversary reunion, and currently you serve as vice president for the organization. Volunteering for the College broadened your exposure to other alumni you otherwise would not have met, and you enjoyed meeting fellow volunteers who are all motivated by the betterment of this institution. You then became a member of the Alumni Council, serving as chair of the Young Alumni Committee. For the class of 2000, you took on the enormous task of co-chairing your 10-year reunion and were recently elected class president…for all the contributions you have made to your alma mater, it is our great honor to present you with the Dartmouth Young Alumni Distinguished Service Award.”


Congratulations, Susi, and thanks for all that you do for our class! Please keep the updates coming!
