Class Note 2008

Issue

Jul - Aug 2018

Hello! Hope your summers are off to rollicking starts. Updates this time around were somewhat brief, no doubt because everyone is busy accomplishing big things and doing good deeds.

On the professional front, Owen Zidar accepted a job as an assistant professor of economics and public affairs at Princeton. Meanwhile, a number of our classmates have made other academic strides. Kiersten Hallquist “finally” completed her master’s in educational leadership this spring. Cyrus Attia has a year left in N.Y.C. before med school ends, if anyone wants to visit him. And Josh Turnbull has enrolled at Pitt Law, class of ’21, starting in August. For his prior studies, Josh received the dean’s scholarship in conjunction with state funding for his paralyzed right upper arm, the result of a serious motor vehicle accident in late 2010 that took him almost six years to fully recover from. Best of luck to all of them (and, indeed, all of you).

And of course, no update these days would be complete without some news on the baby front. Mike Milne’s first child, Chloe, was born April 10, and Mike says she’s super awesome. And Ren Chen and his wife just had their second baby, a boy, named Robert Benjamin Chen. Congratulations to both happy dads!

Will McMahan continues to spread good vibes.

Until next time!
