Class Note 2009
Issue
Oh hello there, fellow ’09 classmate. How nice of you to join me in this big empty meeting area. Allow me to regale you with tantalizing tidbits of information that I have heard upon the whispers of the hill winds.
Anthony Guzman enjoyed traveling through Central America this summer with Derek Brand and Greg Boguslavsky. He has since started medical school at the University of Pennsylvania with fellow ’09s Alexandra Ortega and Noah Levinson.
Radha Kulkarni moved to Los Angeles to start law school at UCLA and is loving the change of scenery.
Melissa Lokensgard completed an M.S. program in chemistry/biochemistry at San Diego State University and will be enrolling jointly at SDSU and University of California San Diego this fall in a Ph.D. program in chemistry/biochemistry.
Sasha Prokhorova moved to San Francisco to pursue a job in energy management.
Meanwhile, on the East Coast Liza Wiley has moved to New York to start a Ph.D. program in micro-organizational behavior at Columbia Business School.
Tom Huzarsky moved to New York and is working for an advertising agency called Digitas.
Emma Virginia moved to Atlanta and is currently living with Shruthi Rereddy. She will be attending Emory University for a master’s in public health.
Jon Livadas completed a year at Duke’s Fuqua School of Business. He also played on the Duke lacrosse team, which won the NCAA Championship this year.
Andrew Pinkham moved back to Hanover to begin life as a graduate student in the computer science department.
Brian Chao will be a 2010-11 Dartmouth general fellow in the international Chinese language program at the National Taiwan University in Taipei.
Nathan Empsall spent his summer hiking through Idaho’s national forests, and has recently moved to Washington, D.C., to start a job with the Democratic National Committee.
Andy Reza is now a founding member of City Year in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The program is an education-based community service nonprofit and an AmeriCorps affiliate. “I’ll be tutoring, mentoring, creating/running after-school programs, building playgrounds, etc., for the next 10 months.”
Shasta Small is working at ReKnew Energy Systems, a solar energy company in the Upper Valley. “ReKnew installed a solar hot water system at the Dartmouth Sustainable Living Center this spring and is currently installing solar hot water at President Kim’s house!”
Nick Weir, Kevin Scully, Luke O’Halloran and Minal Caron recently moved in together in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Steve Chang and Allison Baker went to Peru this summer and had an interesting alumni encounter. Says Allison, “While on a boat somewhere in the Amazon we met up with another Dartmouth graduate, Fred Rothenburg ’64. Fred said he wasn’t at all surprised to meet three other Dartmouth graduates (my father is a member of the class of 1980) in the Amazon, as that’s the kind of ‘rugged individualism’ Dartmouth breeds.”
Rohre Titcomb is working in Seattle at a business run by her and her siblings. Check out their products online at fiveultimate.com and fivebamboo.com! She is also playing ultimate Frisbee for a team called Seattle Riot: “Third in the world at the championships in Prague this year!”
Robert Cousins is excited to report that he recently received his paramedic certification. Congrats, Robert!
Neil Kandler recently passed his Level 1 chartered financial analyst exam. Way to go, Neil!
Virginia Deaton and C.J. Ryan ’08 bought a house together in Lexington, Kentucky, and are both in their first year at the University of Kentucky College of Law. “We got a puppy too!”
That’s all for now, dear friends. But like the leaves in autumn, our classmates’ stories are forever changing. Please return again to hear more of their journeys ’round the girdled earth and to share your own. I must go, for I crave a billybob.
