Class Note 2011
Issue
Hey there, ’11s. The good news is that a number of you are starting to shoot updates my way, but we could always use more. Be sure to let me know what’s going on with you and, in the meantime, here’s what’s going on with a couple of our classmates. Casey Gardiner moved to Boulder, Colorado, during the summer to pursue a doctorate in social psychology and neuroscience. She passes along this note: “Heading back to school has caused the Collis and third-floor Berry withdrawal to return with full force, and missing Homecoming for the first time since fall 2007 is sure to prove traumatic. However, Boulder is an awesome place to live—great mountain views from all over town, excellent food (and happy hour, which Boston sorely lacked) and a solid population of crunchy and techy types. Plus, ski season is almost upon us! While the ’17s (!) are running around the bonfire I’ll be out here doing a snow dance in hopes of some pre-Thanksgiving powder days.” Hillary Cheng writes that she’s about to wrap up law school at Suffolk Law in Boston and has been working on unemployment and immigration cases. She also passed along some updates on Angelo Carino and Ariana Almas, who are both out in San Francisco after some time in Boston. Ariana, who was working as a program manager at New Sector in Boston, is now working with the Year Up nonprofit, Hillary says. And Angelo is working at Google, splitting time between San Francisco and Michigan and, in the words of Hillary, “winning mad awards for his diversity work.” And some exciting news from Eric Tanner. After more than a year of work, the travel buff has launched a new site to help people plan their ideal trips called Tripwing. “Tripwing has partnered with the leading tour companies from around the world to provide a modern web experience that helps you find the perfect vacation,” Eric wrote in the announcement email. “With a Kayak-like search interface, you can choose the locations, activities, dates and prices that work for you, and Tripwing shows you the ideal tours that match your preferences. After that you’re just one click away from your dream vacation. After you book a tour we even help with the flights, so you only need to make one stop online to book your entire vacation.” Be sure to check it out next time you’re planning a trip with your fellow ’11s. So from grad school to new jobs to new companies, that’s a quick roundup of what some of our classmates are up to. Have something to share about what’s going on with you or another ’11? Don’t hesitate to get in touch. —Drew Joseph, 109 West French Place, D105, San Antonio, TX 78212; (510) 418-2244; aqjoseph@gmail.com
