Class Note 2009
Issue
Hello out there, you beautiful young alumni! Welcome to the second installment of Class Notes for the freshest group of people to hit the Alumni Magazine since the 18th century—the class of 2009! I am beyond excited to share with you all some updates from our classmates around the globe.
Mallory McQueen blitzed in a few weeks ago to tell me that she will be spending some time selling office supplies door-to-door in St. Louis. As she says, “Fingers crossed I don’t end up like Willy Lowman.” Nice Arthur Miller reference, Mallory! Donald Pease would be proud.
Shelley Miles reported that she recently moved to Denver to begin work with Community Bank Partners. She is nervous about the weather, especially since it snowed recently. However, she finally found an apartment. Any and all housewarming gifts are welcome. Shelley, I’m considering sending you a snuggie. They work miracles.
As of late August Shasta Small was still on campus finishing up her double major and her chemistry honors thesis, although she told me that she took a “much needed break” to tour with Phish for their last few shows. That sounds like it beats going to Novack for some fruit snacks and a blueberry scone.
Karen Woolley recently moved to Boston and will be rooming with former track teammates Ricky Cedrone ’07 and Cassandre Tanner ’08. She plans to “pursue grand adventures and I hope find a job along the way.”
David Short is also living in Boston now and working at Chatham Partners, a financial services consulting firm in Waltham, Massachusetts. Congrats, David!
Kate Schmidt told me that she is currently working her tail off doing investment banking with Deutsche Bank in New York City. Don’t work too hard, Kate!
Kaili Lambe was offered a job with Repower America in New Hampshire and moved to Concord at the end of August to organize around climate issues. Thank you for helping our planet, Kaili.
Nell Pascall spent the summer in Perth, Australia, and moved to London in late August to pursue a three-month internship. She plans to stay there through December and perhaps even longer, so if you find yourself across the pond be sure to look her up.
Finally, Julie Plevin, who is still having an amazing adventure in Vietnam, wanted me to share with you all her blog address so you can follow her exploits: profoundfluxpudding.blogspot.com.
As I furiously type this document to get it in under my October deadline, it comes to my attention that Homecoming will have come and gone by the date of publication. I’m sure many of you who were able to attend will have wonderful tales with which to regale me and your fellow classmates, so please do so! Blitz in your stories of bonfire revelry with fellow ’09ers, conversations you had with the ’59s, that game of social you rounded up with people you hadn’t seen since June, anything! Tell me how you celebrated the weekend, even if you couldn’t make it to campus. I’ll try to put it all in a fun Homecoming-themed Class Notes next time. For now, though, thanks for reading. Keep doing your thing, and keep telling me all about your lives. Best class ever!
