Class Note 2003
Happy spring, ’03s!
Hard to believe that it has been almost a year since our 15th reunion, putting us that much closer to our next reunion. Happily, we have some early volunteers to help plan our 20th; thanks to Dan Chang and Jill Powers for their commitment on that front. The end of the fiscal year is around the corner, so if you haven’t yet, please make a gift to the Dartmouth College Fund. As one of our class head agents, I’d love to see us continue our momentum from last year’s success. Forty-five-percent participation this year would add another $100,000 to our endowed scholarship fund, allowing us to assist more undergrads in financing their Dartmouth educations.
Frank Webb reports that he started a new job in January as an assistant commonwealth attorney for criminal justice reformer Parisa Dehghani-Tafti in Arlington, Virginia, where he resides with his wife, Annie, and their two children, Henry and Paige. Congrats on the new gig, Frank!
I also heard from Jennifer Casler-Gonclaves, who began a new job with Cornell University in February. After taking the N.Y. State Bar last year, Jen joins Cornell as associate university counsel. Good luck, Jen!
Melissa Moody checked in from Alaska with the news that she took on the role of president of the Dartmouth Club of Alaska at the end of 2019. She reports that the group is laidback, super-fun, and multigenerational and she looks forwards to building momentum with the club and making a statewide connection in 2020. The group recently started up an Instagram account that you can follow at www.instagram.com/dartmouthclubofak.
Jean Bredeche tells me that he, his wife, Sabrina Singh ’05, and their two boys moved from Boston to Columbus, Ohio, to be closer to Sabrina’s family. They are both working remotely for their jobs in Boston and end up traveling quite a bit and would love to hear from anyone coming through Columbus. Glad to hear the move went well!
News reached me that Dr. Lindsay Orchowski received the 2019 Bruce M. Selya Award for excellence in research from Rhode Island Hospital, where she is a staff psychologist. Her current research focuses on sexual assault prevention. Lindsay also serves as an associate professor of research in the department of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University Medical School. Further, she recently published the book, Sexual Assault Risk Reduction and Resistance: Theory Research and Practice. Congratulations on your professional achievements, Lindsay!
In November Dartmouth played the 250th anniversary game in Yankee Stadium against Princeton. I headed up to New York and met up with Meredith (Schwartz) Beuchaw, Sonja (Tonnesen) Davies, Lindsay (Hirschfeld) Guzowski, and Sarah (Murray) Sliva to watch the game. We brought assorted husbands and kids and a great time was had by all. I also noted that Frank Webb and Rebecca and Ethan Levine (along with their children) were in attendance. Did anyone else attend?
That’s it for this edition. As always, send any news to the email below.
