Class Note 2008
Issue
Hi members of the great class of 2008! This is my penultimate update as I am leaving my job (and the United States) in March, joining the Peace Corps and moving to Senegal to work in preventive health and environmental education. It has been my pleasure to write about you all.
Maryanna Brown reports that she has moved to Seattle and is a global classroom intern at World Affairs Council in Seattle and the personal assistant and right-hand woman to the founder of Mandarin Express, a Chinese-teaching school.
Laura Rodriguez wrote in to say that she, Sheila Dunning, Yasmin Mandviwala, Jenna Sherman, Stephanie Zamorano and Alexandra Mesa spent an epic New Year’s together in Miami. I was in New York City in December and went to a Knicks game with Yasmin and Alex at Madison Square Garden before returning the next day to attend a college basketball game with Nova Robinson. I also saw Zack Styskal, who recently started a new position on the sales and business development team with an Internet start-up, www.scoopst.com, that gives daily deals and coupons at a fraction of their actual cost.
Betsy Bryant says she is still alive and employed in Washington, D.C. Kelly Cockerill was promoted to senior analyst at Health Advances outside of Boston.
Chris Barth quit his desk job as a healthcare IT consultant in November and since then has been visiting friends along the East Coast. He plans to spend the next six months or so traveling to Argentina, SXSW Music Festival, Guatemala, El Salvador and Spain, doing a combination of backpacking, writing and volunteering. He highly recommends the wandering lifestyle.
Zak Kaufman was selected as a Marshall Scholar and will be heading to London in October to study epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. He is currently living with Elise Braunschweig in Cape Town, South Africa, and working for Grassroots Soccer.
Mike Milne belatedly let me know that Anthony Fahden won a silver medal at the World Rowing Championships in August with the U.S. lightweight men’s eight.
Joshua Feder just finished choreographing a production of A Christmas Carol at the 13th Street Repertory Company in Manhattan (working with fellow alums Lillian King ’07, Justin Zalkin ’07 and Brian Fortin ’08) and will soon be appearing in Sperm Bank (Short Play Festival) and Alice in Wonderland Through the Looking Glass (The Actor’s Temple) as the March Hare.
Jon Hopper wrote in to congratulate David Lamb on being admitted early decision to both Harvard and Yale Law School.
That’s all for now, but I look forward to hearing more from all of you for the next update!
