Class Note 2007
Issue
¡Hola a todos! I’m usually one to have a generous slice of humble pie, but as a shameless plug for myself, I recently finished my second year as a middle school Spanish teacher in the Bronx with the New York City Teaching Fellows program. I’ve aged in dog years, but now that the summer is here I am ready to enjoy a throwback to Sophomore Summer by finding somewhere with air conditioning and doing absolutely nothing. Of course there are other throwback activities that can be enjoyed and I’ll be bothering you to hang out with me. I hope that you can appreciate the warmer weather, too, especially if you live someplace where you’ve had to withstand the winter. Moving on to the other exciting things that our classmates are doing….
Joe Scola has been coaching football at Dartmouth since graduation, and at the beginning of March he began coaching the Seminoles at Florida State University.
Jessica Zepeda got married on May 15 to a Princeton hockey player. Among her bridesmaids were classmates Margo Duke, Molly Feldmann, Monique Lemus and Lindsay Mann.
Katherine Day earned high praise from The New York Times for her magical set design for the Yale Repertory’s The Servant of Two Masters. Lisa Caldeira and Kirsten Murray met up with Katherine in New Haven, Connecticut, to catch the play, which was spectacularly hilarious. You can check out the article here: www.nytimes.com/2010/03/21/nyregion/21theaterct.html.
Lauren Hassouni is graduating from Fordham Law School this spring and is moving to Washington, D.C.
Yuki Kondo-Shah is a 2010 Rangel Fellow, so the U.S. Department of State is training her to become a Foreign Service officer. She’ll attend the Kennedy School at Harvard for her master’s in public policy, and when she graduates in 2012 she will train to become a diplomat. This summer, she’ll do a congressional internship in D.C. and then move to Cambridge, Massachusetts, in August.
Julie Chang, a reporter for The News Herald in Morganton, North Carolina, received the first-place award for best multimedia project, division D (daily newspapers under 15,000 circulation) from the North Carolina Press Association in 2009.
John Ballard now lives in South Africa and enjoys his weekends with activities like kitesurfing and sandboarding.
Finally, Courtney (Calise) Temple recently had a baby! His name is Peak, which is very appropriate because she and her husband, Tom Temple ’03, were both on the Dartmouth ski team. Congratulations!
It was great hearing from all of you, and keep those updates coming.
Cheers,
