Class Note 2010
Max Pollack will start a new job as a hipster at a music PR agency. Max also has a new roommate, Tim Bolger, who recently moved for a job at an environmental consulting firm. They are living in Brooklyn.
The ’09s and ’10s of Boston have organized an unofficial pong league. However, after a month, the league has not moved past its inception. Email Matt Driscoll if interested.
Carly Silverman and AnnElise DeBelina ran a half marathon around Central Park. Both finished in the top 10 percent. Incredible.
Tommy Shanahan recently moved to Hong Kong and is working in digital marketing for the branding firm Eight Custom Media. He would love to host visitors if anybody happens to be passing through. In China eight is a very lucky number, so I think Tommy will have very good fortune with his company.
Ben Arad, Stephen Modelfino and Conor Grogan threw a mock Derby party in Connecticut during a weekend in May. Many ’10s reportedly took the Grand Central train all the way to Westport, Connecticut, to attend this dapper event. I am sure it was nothing short of the real thing (and by real, I obviously mean Kappa Delta Epsilon’s derby).
Michaela Yule is literally out saving the world. Here is a brief blurb about what she is up to: “I’ve been in Jordan since September, working in Amman. I am a part-time project manager for Mercy Corps, an international relief organization, and part-time conducting research with Iraqi refugees around the city.
“It’s been a great year, especially exciting in the last few months with all the craziness happening in the region. For the most part Jordan has stayed calm, though there are still weekly protests scattered around the kingdom. We don’t expect anything monumental to happen.
“I’ll be heading home in June for the summer and then moving to Dubai in September. I’ll be starting as a consultant for Oliver Wyman in their Dubai office and then transferring to New York in September 2012. That’s all for now!”
Clarification: Note that in the first paragraph, Max Pollack’s job is new, not his identity as a hipster.
Also, thank you very much to Cat Emil, Gloria Gerber and Joanna Pucci who dug up some news for me the night before this column was due. This is what best friends are for.
Since I have a bit more room, I will end with a nice quote that I recently saw.
“Our challenge may not be so much one of becoming more compassionate, but one of learning to let go of the clouds of confusion that obscure the powerful compassion within us,” Christina Feldman
Thanks and keep in touch.
