I wanted to highlight the class executive committee for this issue since they will be working hard over the next year to prepare the five-year reunion. 


Joe DeBonis is working on a number of strategy projects as an M.B.A. summer intern for the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. This fall he will be back in Hanover for his second and final year at Tuck before returning to consulting in New York. In eager anticipation of everyone’s return to Hanover, he has already started extensive on-the-ground preparations for the class of 2010 five-year reunion.


Kelly Bogaert is currently in medical school at the University of Washington, she is going into her second year. She spent the summer in Kenya doing a research project on maternal health. 


Ben Wiener graduated from Penn Law in May and moved in with his fiancée, Anna Krigel ’09, in New York. Ben will start a clerkship for a judge on the eastern district of New York in Brooklyn in the fall. 


Sarah Irving graduated from Tuck with her M.B.A. Sarah loved the experience spending two more years in Hanover! This summer she will be moving home to New Brunswick, Canada, to start work with her family business, Irving Oil.


Chelsea Kirk (our president) is living in Washington, D.C., and teaching at the same school where she was placed four years ago with Teach for America. Chelsea will begin her fifth year as the English teacher and instructional coach. Chelsea teaches at Maya Angelou Academy, which is a charter school located within an all-male juvenile detention facility. She’s also leading our summer school program, which is a Children’s Defense Fund Freedom School.


Emily Baumrin is in her fourth year of medical school at the University of Pennsylvania and applying for residency positions in internal medicine. Emily is loving Philly despite the serious lack of Dartmouth people. And she says that her doors are always open for anyone who needs a place to crash. She is also very excited to reunite with Dartmouth ’10s at Lily Chestnut and Jan Gromadzki’s wedding in September! I’ll bet the sound track of this wedding will be insanely good. Can everyone in the class of 2010 get a copy of the playlist?


Nichole Davis lives in Durham, North Carolina, and will be starting her third and last year of law school in the fall. She spent the summer working as a summer associate for a law firm in New York and will spend the fall semester working for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in Washington, D.C. Since she doesn’t get to see many Dartmouth 2010s in the South she’s really looking forward to catching up with classmates at the five-year reunion. 


Andrew Ching moved to N.Y.C. from Boston and now works at Brooklyn Boulders! 


Lawton Leung started his summer associates program in the wealth planning practice groups at Withers Bergman LLP. After the summer Lawton will finish up his last year at Boston College Law School. Lawton says, “I’ve been traveling along the New England coast searching for good eats and hikes, but I’m sure I won’t find anything that will top Molly’s bread and the sweet view from Baker Tower. Can’t wait to be back in Hanover for our reunion!”


Lawton, are you there? Sorry, but I thought someone should let you know. I don’t think climbing up the stairs to get to Baker Tower is really what people mean by the term “hike.” I can genuinely see the confusion and even agree, stair climbing should be considered hiking. 


Speaking of people who may know the definition of hike, Abbe Sokol and James Cart just moved to the Upper West Side of Manhattan). Abbe says, “We’re happy to host couch crashers if anyone is visiting the city. Also, not sure how desperate you are, but Greg Sokol just celebrated the first birthday of his golden retriever Mary.” Thanks, Abbe. And yes, I am desperate. 


Thanks for reading; you know where to find me with your updates!
