Hi, ’08s! Welcome to the first edition of “I forgot to email out, so I’m Facebook stalking my classmates.” Get excited for some updates that no one knows they submitted!

Gordon Russell is engaged to Bryan Michels. JeanCarlos Bonilla started working at Pepsi. Charlie Stoebe ran the Chicago Marathon to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Elise Waxenberg attended the heartbreaking Dartmouth vs. Harvard football game. Ahmadu Gidado saw Star Wars. Cleo Yang experienced Chick-fil-A for the first time at the new store in New York City. Jordana Kier launched a company called Lola, a subscription feminine hygiene company that offers full transparency into its ingredients, so you know it’s 100-percent natural and biodegradable.

Emi Ito Ortiz taught Nick Ortiz how to eat rice with nori. Charlie Volanakis went to the top of the Empire State Building. Susan Sarandon made Dan Duray a gin and tonic.

Latria Graham was published in The Guardian in response to Fisher v. University of Texas and her experience at Dartmouth. Stu Reid was published in the Washington Post discussing Canada’s role as “helper fixer” in foreign policy and how that is impacted by the election of Trudeau. He may have a good “in” at the Washington Post now that Jon Simpson works there as a marketing manager.

While I still have doubts he attended Dartmouth, I can confirm that alleged ’08 Ethan Handel moved to Austin, Texas. Jeffrey Coleman wasn’t sure how to deal with a student who missed a final because he marked their calendar wrong. What would your Dartmouth professor do? Nithya Sharma survived camping out in the Antarctic. And she saw penguins!

Erica Jones loves Adele, but was upset that 25 gave her “all the feelings on a Monday night.”

Missy DeSouza isn’t posting much about her life, but that’s probably because she’s a surgical resident at Oregon Health & Science University.
