Class Note 2002
Issue
Sep - Oct 2018
Hello, ’02s! I have lots of happy news to share this time around.
In May Caroline Newman Phillips and her husband, Jacob Phillips (LSU ’05), welcomed their second son, Beau Newman Phillips. It makes for a very rambunctious household, with 3-year-old Tyler and Cookie, the dog that never seems to age or lose energy. The whole family is enjoying life in Austin, Texas. Caroline continues to work in the field of educational equity by raising money for Austin’s public schools through a nonprofit, Austin Ed Fund.
I heard from Molly (Stutzman) Miranda: “Jorge and I welcomed Theodore “Theo” Armando Miranda on May 14; he joins big sister Eloise Frances (3.5) and big brother Oliver Lincoln (1.75). We are looking forward to getting to know Theo and to settling in as a family of five. We’ve been living in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2010 and in Alameda (East Bay) specifically since 2015. I work in people operations for Google, where I’ve been for nearly five years now.”
Lynnie (Rudner) Correll updated me on her recent graduation: “I graduated from the pediatric anesthesiology fellowship, and my training is finally over! I’m excited to have taken a job as a pediatric anesthesiologist at the University of Rochester in upstate New York.”
Asa Tapley also recently completed his medical training: “This month I completed my internal medicine residency at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore. I’ve moved to Brookline, Massachusetts, and starting in July I will be an academic hospitalist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and faculty at Harvard Medical School. I hope my Boston-area friends reach out—I’d love to reconnect with people!”
Our class representative to the Alumni Council, Lauren (Smalkowski) Klentak, filled me in on her busy spring: “In April I enjoyed a fun-filled girls weekend with Lindsay (Jernigan) Bateman, Carla (Giugliano) Oddy, Melanie (Schechter) Posner, Kristen von Minden, and Kate (Douglas) Parkin ’03. Everyone flew in from coast to coast for a mini-reunion in Nashville, Tennessee, where many laughs were shared over our favorite country music songs.
“In May I attended the 216th Alumni Council meeting in Hanover and got well-informed about the Call to Lead Campaign while catching a glimpse of my first Green Key Weekend since graduation. The ’02 class was well represented at council events, with Cherie Comeau, Jeff Hafner, and Alex Roberts all in attendance. As your class representative I am always happy to raise your questions or concerns to College leadership.
“Finally, in June I launched my own independent college counseling business, Ignite College and Career Consulting, to assist students and their families in both the admissions process and in career development in college and beyond. I’m looking forward to continuing my involvement in higher education with this new venture!”
Congratulations to our classmates on their new family members and new jobs!
