Hello, hello, ’12s! Summer is in full swing and I refuse to be the one who keeps you from beach reads, outdoor patio drinking, lawn games (corn hole, anyone?) and general across-the-board fun for too long, so I’ll keep it short and sweet. 


Jay Kraska and Carolyn Gaut ’13 are engaged! Keep ’em coming, guys; loving all this love.


So occasionally I tune into ABC Family, because hey, why not? Imagine my surprise, when I saw our very own Julian Flamer walking across the screen on Switched At Birth. How exciting! Everyone needs a summer show—’12s, make this yours. Come on y’all, show some solidarity. 


You guys never fail to impress me, and Justin Samuels is no exception. His photographs were featured in a trade show in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In my opinion, that’s a picture-perfect example of ’12s doing big things out there in the real world (Get it? Picture perfect. I thought it was clever.) 


Some ’12s are moving around these days, so keep an eye out for them if you’re in these cities. Erin Lansky is leaving the Big Apple behind and heading to Chicago. Color me jealous, Erin, and don’t be surprised if I show up on your doorstep. Kidding, but not all at the same time. Elizabeth Kamai is moving from Boston to North Carolina to start a graduate program in the fall. Congratulations, Elizabeth! Keep in touch; we’re sending good vibes your way. And cannot leave out Alex Kettering, who is moving from Philadelphia to Boston. Fellow Bostonians let’s give him a warm welcome, okay? 


Sabrina Chiasson and Emma Mahoney recently ran the Nike Women’s Half Marathon We Run D.C. in Washington D.C. Similarly, Haley Carstensen ran in the Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon and Half Marathon in Nashville, Tennsessee. Get it, girls.


Until next time, ’12s. Resume your fun in the sun.
