Take a moment to think about all of the members of the class of 2010 who have paired up as roommates after graduation. It seems like everyone is living with a fellow ’10, right?


We have the more expected pairs, such as Natalie Stoll and Eliza Varner, who are in Washington, D.C. Natalie is working as a case assistant (like a paralegal) at Goodwin Procter and Eliza is teaching seventh-grade science at Beltsville Academy. And then there are ’10s who literally never even spoke on campus: Jude Chiy and Natalie Falsgraf, for example, are happily paired up in Chicago. Natalie is working for Teach For America in South Chicago and Jude is working for Cancer Treatment Centers of America. Another comment on Jude Chiy: He has the remarkable ability to fall asleep on command. I witness it daily. Rigel Cable and Ted Letcher are newfound roomies in San Francisco. Rigel (who is responsible for setting up our class of 2010 website, check it out!) reports that they are rather compatible cohabitants. For example, Ted has generously allowed Rigel take care of all the interior decorating. Ted is busily working at Google. Another pair, Dubi Ajukwu and ChuChu Ajukwu, are roommates together in Manhattan, N.Y.C. The list could go on, but I do not want to interject my bias of what randomness is. 


In other news, Jeremy Teicher spent the summer in a rural village in Senegal. Jeremy created a film that tells the story of the village’s high school students pursuing higher education. With a Lombard Fellowship and a sponsorship from Kodak film, Jeremy originated his idea at Dartmouth during senior spring, then shot the footage in Senegal over the summer and is now in the states working on editing and distributing. After this project wraps up, he will move to L.A. to continue his pursuit of film and storytelling. Sounds like he is off to a great start. Good luck, Jeremy!

Matt Dornak is living in Austin, Texas, where he is working for Hohmann, Taube & Summers, LLP. Matt claims to be the only ’10 who is currently in Austin. Really? No one else wanted to live in Austin? I recently took my first trip to Texas and, it is true, everything is bigger down there. 


As part of the Americore program, Alina Plavsky is working in a health clinic in Denver. In the clinic she is part of the homeless outreach team that helps those who lack housing or insurance find adequate care. She has also started a short-term relationship with a dog that she adopted. 


June Choe started medical training at the Dartmouth Medical School. June realized he wanted to be a doctor his junior year of college, and made it all happen during the course of that year. If you are thinking of applying to medical school, June is a great person to talk to. 


Most importantly, Jeff Friedman, Chris Root and Paula Sen, who all happily work together at Morgan Stanley in Manhattan, will be renting a zipcar to drive up to Dartmouth for Homecoming weekend. It has also been reported that in order to keep their Dartmouth spirits alive at Morgan Stanley, they meet up for lunches (when they can) and have even done community service work together on behalf of Morgan Stanley. 


That is all folks. Happy holidays. Contact me.
