Hi, class of 2006! Let’s get right into the news and notes. I hope many of you got the chance to watch some of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, where Dartmouth as a whole was very well represented, with a total of 12 athletes being either current or past Dartmouth students. Most thrillingly for us ’06s was the chance to see classmate Gillian Apps represent Team Canada in women’s hockey for the third straight Winter Olympics. As many of you undoubtedly know Team Canada beat Team USA 3-2 in overtime of a truly thrilling gold medal game. Congratulations, Gillian, on your third Olympic gold medal!


Also in sports news, Devon Wills became the first-ever female Major League Lacrosse player when she was acquired by the New York Lizards in the league’s supplemental draft in December. Devon, a goalie, is a two-time women’s World Cup champion (2009 and 2013) and is currently in her second season as an assistant coach and defensive coordinator at the University of Southern California. Congratulations, Devon, on this great accomplishment and inspiring moment for female athletes!
