Class Note 2014
Issue
Jul - Aug 2016
Finally, summer is upon us. Though it wasn’t particularly cold or snowy in the Northeast this past winter, I missed the long days and the abundance of exciting outdoor things to do. This summer I intend to soak up the sun (and all the free programming in New York City) with a number of our classmates. I’m also looking forward to an upcoming trip to London, Paris and Madrid. If any ’14s will be in any of those cities in early August, let me know so we can hang out!
Kathleen (Katie) Chung is also planning some exciting travel. “This summer I will be backpacking with fellow ’14s Mitchell Jacobs and Colleen Cowdery through Southeast Asia. Then Allegra Condiotte will join us on a cross-country U.S. road trip from California to the Northeast. After, I will be moving to Providence to begin medical school at Brown University!”
A number of our classmates emailed me about new jobs or endeavors. For example, Corinne “Rin” Kominkiewicz has been attending a school to become a professional wrestler since January. Rin says, “I have my first match on Saturday, April 30, for WrestlePro in Rahway, New Jersey. Since I know this will be published after the fact, you can say I got thrown over the top rope (because it’s all planned out, but shh). It’s a battle royal with seven other people and I’m the only girl (of course). I have no real aspirations to be on television doing this, but I do want to get good enough to have shows in different parts of the country where I hope other Dartmouth folk can come see me compete!”
Since graduation Taha Adib has shifted gears from investment banking to education. Still in New York City, Taha now teaches writing and rhetoric at Democracy Prep. He is excited to share that this year he will be the summer academy director (principal). He looks forward to opportunities in educational leadership and technology and would love to connect with fellow alumni in the field!
Shane O’Neal reports, “I will be heading down to Duke in the fall to start a master’s in environmental management.” Though he has enjoyed living in New England, he knows he will appreciate warmer winters.
Abigail “Aby” Macias recently began working at an immigration law firm as legal assistant. “I’m not sure if I want to go to law school, but it is awesome to gain a practical skill set that’s applicable to so many fields. I work on cases ranging from investor visas to pro bono asylum, so every day is an adventure.”
This fall Talia Weiss starts graduate school in Chicago to pursue a master’s in biomedical visualization. Ariel Low recently graduated from Harvard School of Public Health and moved to California to work with the Environmental Systems Research Institute setting up mapping systems for disaster relief agencies. She says, “While I’m sad to leave the awesome Dartmouth community in Boston, I’m looking forward to some more sunshine and meeting Dartmouth alumni in the Los Angeles area.”
To those who wrote in, thank you! To others, send updates my way!
Also, to everyone: Don’t forget to make an end of the fiscal year gift to the Dartmouth College Fund! Every cent counts. Go to dartmouth.edu/~alfund to give!
Enjoy the summer!
