Class Note 2012
Issue
Sept - Oct 2015
Hello again, ’12s. Lots of great updates to tell y’all about, so I’ll get right to the good stuff. But real quick, as always, I love hearing from you so keep the updates coming (k.crisp12@gmail.com), please. And thank you.
Faye Keegan is moving to San Francisco, so be sure to give her a warm West Coast welcome.
After three post-grad seasons in Vermont Gordon Vermeer just retired from professional ski racing and moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts. He’ll be joining Charlie Governali at a timber and agriculture investment firm downtown and is excited to see Max Goldberg at November Project workouts. He’s also looking forward to reuniting with other ’12s around town. You heard him, fellow Beantown ’12s, let’s welcome him right, mmmk?
A few other ’12s are joining us in Boston this fall for graduate school, including Dana Or, who will be attending Harvard Law School; Remy Dikeou, who will be attending Harvard Business School; and Kristy Abo, who is moving to Boston to do the M.D./Ph.D. program at Boston University School of Medicine. Way to go, ladies. Can’t wait to see you around town. Similarly Hikaru Yamagishi is starting a graduate program at Yale, focusing on the study of the political economy of gender. Likewise Chris Plante is starting his first year at Cornell Law School. Big ups for you guys.
Additionally, a few more graduations to add on to the previous list from the last issue: Annalyse Chinco graduated from Loyola University Chicago Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing, Rachel Siegel graduated from Harvard Law and Jessi (Merry) Samuels graduated from Yale Law School. Virtual high fives all around.
Some ’12s are now officially hitched since we last spoke. Looking at you, Bekey Lee and Alex Kettering and Sarah Streeter and Henry Hutcheson. Congrats, you guys. The ’12s are sending all the love we have to give your way!
Alicia Kim is traveling to San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, to help build a campus for a local high school. She writes that the project, called Dreams2Act: Nicaragua, is run by Random Acts, a nonprofit organization. The students in San Juan del Sur are excluded from regular schools due to their rural location and poverty. The Free High School gives them a chance at secondary education, and they deserve their own campus where that can become a reality. The volunteer team is made up of 25 people, each of whom raised $5,000 to put toward construction. Numerous Dartmouth alumni helped her reach the goal and now she is really excited to serve in Nicaragua this year. Additionally, Alicia is currently fundraising to support the logistical side of her trip, through Crowdrise (crowdrise.com/alicia-nicaragua). She’s fundraising through November, so go ahead and help her out if you can, ’12s. We wish you lots of luck, Alicia.
Lastly, it is with a heavy heart that I report the passing of Nina Brekelmans. Please keep Nina’s family and friends in your thoughts and hearts during this difficult time.
That’s all for now. Carry on, ’12s.
