Jul - Aug 2016
Our classmates have tons of exciting updates (this might be a record!), so apologies for the brevity, but let’s get right to it.
Congratulations to Kimberly Rose on her upcoming wedding! Kim will be getting married in October on George Washington’s estate—a fitting locale for the former government major—and will be moving to Rome as a newlywed in February!
Casey Conway is very excited to be moving to San Francisco to take a new job at Apple as a product manager, applying user-centered design principles to improve maps, and she’s looking forward to reconnecting with Dartmouth grads!
BreAnna Houss is moving to Duluth, Minnesota, to medical school at the University of Minnesota campus.
In September Ben Riley will be moving to London to pursue a master’s in the history of art at the Courtauld. After completion of the degree next summer he will return to his editorial work at The New Criterion.
