Class Note 2002
Issue
Jul - Aug 2016
Hello, ’02s! I received no submissions this time around so I had to go digging in the proverbial mailbag (i.e., news that the alumni magazine forwards me).
Bill Meyer recently authored a middle-grade historical adventure series, Horace j. Edwards and the Time Keepers. The first book in the series, The Secret of the Scarab Beetle, was released on April 1 and tells the story of an 11-year-old boy who finds himself transported to ancient Egypt. Bill currently lives with his wife in New York, where he is completing his Ph.D. at New York University and teaching his high school students about the mysteries of Ancient Egypt. For more information about his book series, visit www.horaceandthetimekeepers.com.
Flinder Boyd tracked down baseball great Rafael Palmeiro and interviewed him for a long-form piece published by Fox Sports. According to his bio, “Flinder is a former European professional basketball player turned writer. His features have appeared at Newsweek, SBNation Longform, and the BBC, among others. On Twitter he can be found @FlinderBoyd.”
The Bangor Daily News published an update about Jenny Rottmann. “Jenny Rottmann has joined the Genesis Community Loan Fund as director of finance and administration, bringing more than a decade of experience in both nonprofit management and community-based work. Rottmann of Portland, Maine, will manage internal financial and operational systems for the Genesis Fund, a community development financial institution serving the state of Maine. Previously, she worked as managing director at the Environmental Health Strategy Center, organizing director at Maine People’s Alliance and a staff person at the Center for Community Change. She also has served as treasurer or finance committee member on several nonprofit boards.”
The Boston Globe interviewed Alexandra Roberts about her research on tagmarks—when companies claim trademarks on hashtags. She also recently published a BuzzFeed article that distills her research for general consumption. Alexandra is a University of New Hampshire law professor and tweets @lexlanham.
Send along your reunion stories or, for those who couldn’t attend, the news you wish you could have shared. Follow our class Twitter account @Dartmouth2002 for retweets and class news!
