Hiya, ’12s! I’m so happy to be back here with another hello-in-column-form. Thankfully, it’s finally starting to feel like summer up here in Boston (took long enough, am I right?) and I’m excited to start everyone’s summer off right with some great updates. But real quick (you guys know the drill): dues, dues, dues, dues—always a good time to pay them (we promise to do great things with them)—and don’t forget to keep an eye out for news from our mini-reunion chairs Toshi Harris-Koizumi and Cat Roedel. To the updates.


Wedding bells are ringing again guys. Bekey Lee and Alex Kettering are engaged! Sarah Streeter and Henry Hutcheson are as well. Huge congratulations to all of you guys! So excited for you guys and we wish nothing but the best for y’all. 


Justin Samuels is the new young alumni chair of the Midwest. So all of you out that way get ready; I know for a fact Justin is planning big things for you guys. Be sure to keep an eye out for information from him and try to make it to as many events as you can.


Good news everyone in Philly and not so much for the folks in Chicago, but Caitlin Keenan is bidding the Windy City adieu and moving to Philadelphia. Be sure to give her a warm Philly welcome.


Lastly, how could we not give a huge shout-out to Sophie Caldwell, who is hands down one of our most favorite Olympians. We were all so proud to hear that you made it to the Olympics and then to watch you crush some records in the process was just icing on the cake. You go, girl. We’re all so proud of you.


So, the notes were short but sweet, right? While this is never a bad thing, I would love to hear from you guys more and if you guys want longer notes (and let’s be real, everyone does), send some updates my way (k.crisp12@gmail.com). I promise to do them justice. That’s all for now; nothing but love for you guys.
