Class Note 2009
Issue
Greetings, ’09ers! I’ve gotten a lot of great updates from our beautiful and multitalented classmates, so I won’t waste any more space in this introductory paragraph not talking about them. Let’s dive right in!
Daniel Montes De Oca is working out of Mexico for a coffee trading company. “So if anyone wants to buy 20 metric tons of green coffee beans, I can get it cheap.” In other news, I just bought a French press.
Lizzy Hennessey quit her job at Aruba Networks and is now working at a privately operated, public interest law firm in San Francisco as a paralegal clerk. Hit her up if you’re in the area!
Mark Harris will be moving to New York City in August to start med school at Columbia University, where he will be pursuing a dual M.D. and a master’s in public Health.
Erin Gu is teaching at a rural village elementary school outside China this year. Shoot her an e-mail and she’ll regale you with hilarious stories about her students.
Nell Pascal is working at a bank in London and will be swimming the English Channel in July. Now I feel fat.
Johanna Hauer recently informed me that she was “finding her inner Gracie Lou Freebush…I’m getting ready to compete in the Miss Maine Pageant. Hey, a girl’s got to pay for grad school somehow, right?” I think I speak for all of us when I say I need to see photos of this immediately.
Pete Kitlas is currently teaching in Morocco. “I’m starting to introduce outdoor adventure activities to my Moroccan youth, so I’ve been hiking throughout the middle Atlas Mountains trying to plan some trips. If anyone finds themselves in or around this region and wants to visit the Moroccan countryside, marhaba!”
Tamar Groveman is getting her master’s in interpreting and translation, working between Japanese and English, at the University of Bath in the United Kingdom.
Harrison Matthews informed me that he and Alan Shanoski are posted up in a traditional Tibetan house in Shangri-la town, Yunnan, China. “Alan has been managing a traditional hand-woven rug company, while I’ve been managing a bar in town. We want to give a shout-out to those who have been visited, those to be visited, those who have visited and those planning to visit (all are welcome; we’ve got rugs to sleep on): Joe Kardon (Singapore), Sarah Van Dyke (Chengdu), Julie Plevin (Vietnam), David Nie (Japan), Alex Czarnecki (South Korea) and Julia DeWahl (India).”
Jordan Sedlacek will be done with classes for her master’s of agriculture program in integrated resource management at Colorado State University by the middle of May. “Then I am going to South Africa for three weeks on a veterinary wildlife medicine study abroad program before returning to campus to finish my research over the summer.”
Andrew Lebovich is now writing a weekly brief for Foreign Policy magazine called “The Legal War on Terror” (or LWOT) covering legal issues in the ongoing fight against terrorism. Let him know if you’d like to receive the brief as an e-mail each week (andrew.lebovich@gmail.com).
Tina Harrison is currently doing research in New Jersey with Rutgers biologist and Dartmouth alum Rachel Winfree ’90.
Dylan Kane is finishing his first year of service with the AmeriCorps St. Louis emergency response team. “When not responding to disaster we work with partners in Missouri on natural resources conservation. We just came to the end of the wildland fire season, for which we work as an initial-attack team on wildfires as well as a resource for prescribed burn projects—it’s pretty fun to walk around the forest with a driptorch, sloshing fire everywhere.” In other news, I just bought a driptorch.
Keep the updates coming! Class of ’09 love.
