Hello, ’02s! I received no classmate submissions this time so I’m dipping into the information that has been forwarded by the alumni magazine staff. Please send along your updates—you know you enjoy reading about your classmates here, so send me a line about yourself so others can enjoy too!
Following a national search, Beth Onofry was named executive director of Breakthrough New York (BTNY), a New York City-based college success nonprofit. “BTNY transforms the lives of talented kids from low-income backgrounds by providing educational support from middle school through college and into careers. The organization also inspires talented young people to enter careers in education through its unique students-teaching-students model.” After working in admissions at Dartmouth after graduation, Beth has spent the last 11 years at the TEAK Fellowship, a college access and success nonprofit in New York City that helps bright and motivated students from low-income families. “I am delighted to join such a caring and dedicated community of BTNY students, staff, families, board members and school partners to help more talented students achieve their potential, break the cycle of poverty and effect positive change in the world around them,” she said.
Kate Siber has written a large-format, illustrated children’s book for children ages 6 to 9 about our beautiful National Parks. “Discover the beauty and diversity of America’s great outdoors in this tour of its most iconic national parks. Explore Florida’s river-laced Everglades, travel down the white-water rapids of the Grand Canyon, trek across the deserts of Death Valley and scale the soaring summits of the Rocky Mountains with this book that brings you up close to nature’s greatest adventures. Packed with maps and fascinating facts about the flora and fauna unique to each park, this fully illustrated coast-to-coast journey documents the nation’s most magnificent and sacred places—and shows why they should be preserved for future generations to enjoy.” The book features amazing Works Progress Administration-style illustrations. Check it out when it goes on sale in July: www.amazon.com/National-Parks-USA-Kate-Siber/dp/1847809766.
