Class Note 2006
Issue
May-June 2022
Hi, ’06s. Thanks to everyone who shared their updates for this issue. It was great to hear from you!
Chase Bower and his family moved to Paoli, Pennsylvania, about 20 miles west of Philadelphia, at the end of last year. Chase will be starting Wharton’s executive M.B.A. program in May, although he will still always bleed green! Chase and his wife, Rachel, are celebrating their 10-year anniversary, and their kids Eleanor and Grant are now 7 and 5.
In honor of May Mental Health Awareness Month, Audrey Marcum is working with a collaboration of alumni-led groups to launch a series that will feature Dartmouth alumnae sharing their stories of balancing mental health and wellness. Audrey first shared her bipolar I story with the ’06 Facebook group in 2019. Through the new Inspire platform, her story is written to celebrate how individuals, as part of a healthy ecosystem, can empower someone wrestling with a newly manifested mental illness. Please enjoy the stories published at inspire.host.dartmouth.edu, help raise awareness about mental health needs throughout the Dartmouth community and consider sharing a story as well.
Hannah Murnen was named managing director of the Activate Anywhere Community. Activate is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that partners with U.S.-based funders and research institutions to support its fellows.
James Adam Redfield edited and translated from Yiddish a new book, From a Distant Relation, written by Mikah Yosef Berdichevsky. The book is a lively collection of little-known short stories, monologues, and folktales by a major figure in modern Jewish literature and thought. James is assistant professor of biblical and talmudic literatures in the department of theological studies at Saint Louis University. He was a 2016 Yiddish Book Center translation fellow and his translation of From a Distant Relation was the result of his translation fellowship project.
Diana Zhang is CEO and co-founder of NeighborShare, a rapidly growing, direct-giving platform that empowers communities to help families through critical moments of need, requiring $400 or less. NeighborShare helps local nonprofits connect households directly with neighbors who are eager to share, making it easier for the organizations to highlight specific, validated cases of need and resolve them quickly.
