Hello, ’06s.

Congratulations to Patty (Olszynski) Hanyen and her husband Greg. They welcomed their third child, a daughter named Caroline, in May. Big sister Evelyn and big brother Miles are showering her with love. They currently live in Denver, where Patty is an anesthesiologist for Kaiser Permanente.

Also, congratulations to Bart Blackburn and his wife, Hilary Prentice ’01, who welcomed their first child, a son named Tice, on July 7. Tice joins their family as the second boy—Bart has an older son named Beckett who is 5 1/2 and is very excited for his new role as a big brother. Tice is connected to our ’06 class in another way—his aunt is Amanda Prentice.(Amanda officiated Bart and Hilary’s wedding ceremony last year in Los Angeles.)

For the second year Lauren Balukjian is working to bring women together virtually. She shares that, “Last November I hosted and produced the first ever Ivy League Summit for Women, where more than 250 Ivy League women gathered virtually to take off the veil of perfection and discuss the challenges we face as women. The global community, Ivy League Sisters, is now more than 750 women and they are gathering again this year on November 9.” To learn more and register for the free summit visit www.theivyleaguesummit.com.

Alexis Lanzet recently moved to Toronto after living in Vancouver for 17 years. Currently she is the VP of strategic finance for Aurora Cannabis, where she has worked in different roles for the past five years. Alexis met her husband at the University of British Columbia M.B.A. program, and they have two children, a 13-year-old son and a 9-year-old daughter. The family is enjoying all that their new city has to offer, and Alexis would love to connect with other ’06s in the Toronto area.

Wishing you all a wonderful start to 2024!
