Hello, ’06s! I hope this finds you well and enjoying the new year!


Before we get to classmate updates, here is a message from your reunion co-chairs, Shannon Troutman, Jennifer Bordeau and Christine Benally: “Hello, fellow ’06ers! Our fifth-year reunion is fast approaching and we wanted to remind you of some pertinent information and further encourage your input in reunion planning. We will celebrate our reunion over the weekend of June 17-19. If you are interested in helping out or would just like to share some thoughts and ideas or have burning questions, please contact us at d06reunion@gmail.com. Please check your e-mail inboxes for more detailed information from us in the coming months. We are looking forward to seeing you in June and are currently working hard to make our first Dartmouth reunion a great one!”

Taica Hsu is still teaching math in San Francisco at Mission High School. He was just awarded a Math for America Fellowship through UC Berkeley that will allow him to teach teacher education classes and support new teachers in the classroom. Taica and his roommates are also starting a new nonprofit called the Queens of the Castro, a group of four drag queens that raise awareness about gender and sexuality in San Francisco. They have started to plan and implement drag shows at various San Francisco Unified schools in order to combat bullying and create safe spaces for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender youth.


Congratulations to Jenna Pelletier and Anton Hasenkampf, who got engaged in June. They have been living in San Francisco since graduation. Anton is a second-year associate at a law firm and Jenna works at a digital advertising agency in account management.


After spending two years working at Lehman Brothers in investment banking and the past two years at Alvarez & Marsal, focused on distressed credit restructuring and turnaround management, Sam Jackson recently moved to Boston and is pursuing his M.B.A. at Harvard Business School.


I look forward to hearing your updates and also to seeing you in June for our reunion!
