Issue

March-April 2020

Hi, ’12s.

We’re somewhere on that liminal plane between Carnival and Green Key, but whether it feels like springtime or not where you live, plenty of updates to get you in a nostalgic Dartmouth headspace.

Starting with a very cheery update: Elizabeth Doe Stone and her husband, Zach, welcomed baby Charlie this December, making the holiday season in Montreal cuddly and warm despite the snow. Congrats, Liz!

Crishuana Williams also shared that in December she gave her first TEDx talk, at the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee. Crishuana spoke about the power of unlikely collaborations and is completing a master’s in information science at the Syracuse University School of Information. She’s already made her mark with projects at libraries across the country and we can’t wait to hear what’s next.

In more academic news, Blythe George writes us to share that she has accepted a postdoctoral position with the president’s postdoctoral fellowship program at the University of California, Berkeley, for 2019-21. Blythe earned her Ph.D. in sociology and social policy from Harvard University and will be continuing her work studying prisoner reentry in tribal communities with the Far North Tribal Offender Registry.

We love a Dartmouth wedding in this column, and the ’12s certainly do not disappoint. David Dowd and Nancy Dietman tied the knot on November 2 in St. Paul, Minnesota, more than a decade after meeting in Arabic class our freshman spring. After years of friendship, David and Nancy finally started dating in D.C., where they now live.

In October,after five years of dating, Sophie Caldwell married fellow Olympian and teammate Simi Hamilton in her Vermont hometown. Congratulations to the very talented and speedy couple!

Adding to the joyful news, Christian Brant and Adam Holt ’09 were married on August 17 in a beautiful summer ceremony in Andover, Massachusetts. Fantastic news, and thanks to Blythe for the tip!

Finally, after several years of dating and a move from New York City to Cambridge, Massachusetts, Chloe Greenbaum and Zach Rubin got engaged in October. Cheers!

To close out this month’s column, plugging a jaw-dropping 360 virtual reality film published by a group of Dartmouth climbers, including our own Mike Swartz (along with Remy Franklin ’13 and Jacob Kupferman ’14). The film documents Mike and team’s five-person expedition to São Tomé, where the group attempted to snag the first free ascent of Pico Cão Grande, 1,000-foot-tall volcanic tower in the jungle.
