Hey, ’01s! Many thanks to those who sent notes before 2013 became history. It’s great to end the year with a variety of good news. 


Stina Brock humbly kept this to herself, but another alumna told me Stina received a well-deserved Young Alumni Distinguished Service Award in October. She was cited for her work in the energy field and commitment to Dartmouth through club and committee volunteer work, as well as alumni interviewing. Way to go, Stina! You can learn more from the award file linked here: http://alumni.dartmouth.edu/awards. 


Jennifer Gill Didoni and her husband, Alberto, welcomed a baby girl on November 15. Lucia Maria Didoni, described by her mom as a “beautiful and well-cooked joy,” was in no hurry to make her debut: She arrived 13 days after her due date at the healthy weight of 9 pounds, 12 ounces. Jenn was kind enough to include a photo when she sent this announcement, so I’m pleased to confirm Lucia is absolutely gorgeous. I hope you’re all doing great! 


Amar Dhand wrote in with two fantastic items: He is engaged to Charlene Ong (UPenn) and he invented the NeuroBoard, a device for teaching patients and students about neurological illnesses. Congratulations! 


Have a great 2014, everyone!
