Class Note 2014

Issue

Nov - Dec 2016

Wow, has this summer flown by. It seems like just yesterday I was burning the midnight oil writing the summer’s class notes, informed by letters full of good tidings from our classmates.

Now it’s fall, and I am excited to report that the ’14 class officers have just returned from a wonderfully bucolic and productive weekend in Hanover for Class Officers Weekend. We’d like to remind you that we are excited to serve as your liaisons for all things Dartmouth, and we hope you will use us as a resource! Please go to 2014.dartmouth.org to be in touch. And now, for some classmate news!

Gavin Huang writes in, “I’ve taken on a full-time position as deputy business editor of an English newspaper in Seoul, the Korea JoongAng Daily. I’ve also started a podcast with a friend here on Korean current events that you can check out on the newspaper’s website.”

In honor of the National Parks Centennial, Gerben Scherpbier emailed in about his experience working at Yellowstone National Park. Gerben said, “I got my start in Yellowstone while traveling through the park with the earth sciences off-campus program in 2012, when I was a junior. I initially started working for the service in Yellowstone as a leader with the Yellowstone Youth Conservation Corps, which brings high school students into the park for one-month work projects. I have since recruited Cedar Farwell ’17 (my successor as DOC president) and Kelly Wood (who I worked with on H Croo for DOC trips) into the corps program. It’s a Dartmouth takeover here in Yellowstone.”

Geanette Foster reports, “After graduation I worked for an education policy-based nonprofit. This past summer I worked at Cadwalader, Wickersham and Taft, LLP in Washington, D.C., as a sponsor for an educational opportunity intern. I recently moved to N.Y.C. as a member of the class of 2019 at Columbia Law School, where I will be classmates with fellow ’14 Will Kuzma.”

Have a wonderful autumn, ’14s. I look forward to hearing from you all soon.
