Class Note 2008
Happy summer, ’08s!
Each class notes gets more impressive than the last. Once again we have classmates making big changes in their lives.

Ashley Mas graduated from Cardozo Law School and is starting at Paul, Weiss this summer. Louisa McCarthy Latham welcomed her beautiful daughter, Lucy, this April. Will DeKrey celebrated his bachelor party in Key West, Florida, with fellow ’08s Jon Hopper, Chris Knape, Frank Glaser and Josh Hurd. He’ll be marrying Sean Garren ’07 this August.
Dana Cushing is marrying Dave Olverson on Hunter Mountain this summer surrounded by family and a “ton of Dartmouth friends.” Sarah Bankoff is marrying Anthony Leone this July in Boston. Angela Libby is engaged to Anwar Ragep.
Veronica de Zayas is engaged to Andrew Ingalls. The two were introduced by Chuck Flynn and his wife, Emma. Lyndsey (Girod) Ramsey accepted a new position as the associate director of natural and environmental resources for the Illinois Farm Bureau.
It’s a big summer ahead for Michael Rossiter. After graduating with his M.B.A. from UC Berkeley Haas School of Business Michael will be marrying the wonderful Caroline Bennett on July 4th weekend in Ipswich, Massachusetts. In August he will join the Boston Consulting Group in San Francisco.
Lauren Bennett completed her first marathon in St. Louis, Missouri, with Meg (Strout) Maher, Dunia Rkein and Hannah Tsai cheering her on. Way to go, Lauren! Cathy Chang graduated from medical school and is moving to Houston to start her pediatrics residency at the University of Texas. She also married Sungho Lee in San Francisco during Memorial Day weekend.
Katarina Kralj-Madiraca was accepted to FIT’s master’s in professional studies, cosmetics and fragrance marketing and management, which starts this fall. She also went on a delicious eating tour of Europe. Emily Frabj is returning to the Bay Area to start her residency in pediatrics at UCSF and will be joining Sindhura Kodali, who is already there.
Showing us up for the coolest on-the-job experience, Corinne Headley is finding bullet casings that were fired at the Battle of the Little Bighorn on an archeological project on the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana. Kathleen Onufer visited Lydia Islan in Seattle for a conference and they had some quality Asian food, ice cream from Molly Moon’s and mixed weather; it was the full Seattle experience. I’m going to assume she drank lots of coffee while she was there.
Andrew Blancero will attend Rutgers University this fall for its master’s in city and regional planning program. Tim Shen received his M.D. from the Ohio State University College of Medicine and moved to Los Angeles for an internal medicine residency. Nick and Emi Ito Ortiz moved to Miami in January. Emi is starting a new career as an illustrator (www.emiitoillustration.com) and Nick is continuing as a lawyer. This spring they traveled to Peru.
Meghan Wendland graduated from the Herman G. Ostrow School of Dentistry at USC with her D.D.S. She will return to Dartmouth in August to start her M.P.H. Chris Barth loves dolphins. I guess this isn’t much of a change, but it’s an important reminder.
Keep the updates coming!
