Hello, ’11s, and welcome back to the updates.


To start, here’s an update from Katie Lindsay. Katie has been working as a production assistant with the New York Theatre Workshop on a number of plays and is going to be working as the literary intern at the group. She’s also working with Vox Theater, a new group that was started to bring together Dartmouth alumni who work in theater and that is planning on having an alumni festival at Dartmouth next summer. 


Sarah Feldmann recently left her job working in Boston for the investment consulting firm Cambridge Associates and is heading to Kenya for six months. She’s doing a condensed grad program on impact investing and social entrepreneurship called the Frontier Market Scouts Program and will be working with an organization called Invested Development (ID) in Nairobi. Here’s how Sarah describes it: “ID runs an impact investing fund that functions similarly to a standard seed-stage venture capital fund. They basically identify promising entrepreneurs and run them through an ‘accelerator’ program to help get them up and running—often providing some initial working capital, office space, business model consulting, financial modeling assistance, etc. Only with ID, as opposed to standard venture capital, the entrepreneurs all have ideas for companies that are socially motivated in some way. It’s basically slightly larger scale microfinance.”


And Yan Fan is in commodities for a company called Bunge Ltd. and has been bouncing around, working in St. Louis, Missouri, Miami, Geneva and other places. Now, she’s been moved to Singapore and will be there for the near future.


That’s it for now. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
