Class Note 2014
Issue
Nov - Dec 2018
This past summer I had the pleasure of running into a member of the class of 2021 as we both waited for the train to New York City on a platform in New Jersey. He was wearing some Dartmouth gear, so I, of course, said hello and offered my class year, and we struck up a conversation. I never thought I would be one of thosealums who would just talk to random students, but I was totally thrilled to chat about the classes he was taking, the state of social life on campus, and his freshman trip. He was positively glowing discussing his experience, and it really brought me back; I honestly still get that warm and fuzzy feeling when I think about the College.
It was great experiencing that feeling in real-time this past September in Hanover; I just visited for Class Officers Weekend. Of course, I am eagerly awaiting my next visit to campus in January to celebrate the reopening of the Hood Museum of Art. The Hood was very important to me—academically, professionally, and socially—so I am thrilled to see the new building and envision just how crucial it will be to the next generations of Dartmouth students. Should any of you be interested in visiting for the reopening, I hope to see you there on January 26! If not in January, I look forward to seeing you at reunions in June!
Whether you’ve been back every big weekend since 2010 or if you haven’t stepped foot on campus since graduation day, I hope to galvanize your excitement for returning to Dartmouth over the next few months in these columns. In preparation, and to cultivate those warm fuzzy feelings, please email me fond memories you have of the College! Funny stories, great classes, meaningful professors, your favorite place on campus: You send it, I’ll share it. And now, the news. I only got a few submissions for this column (as I’m sure you already knew from my long-winded introduction), so let’s ramp it up for the next one, yes?
Talia Weiss recently graduated with a master’s in biomedical visualization from the University of Illinois at Chicago, where she focused on developing virtual reality tools for medical education and training. After graduation she and her husband, Robert Rein ’12, moved to San Francisco, where Talia started a new position managing the virtual human interaction lab at Stanford University.
Michelle Shu started a new product engineering role at Asana in New York City. She is building user interfaces to help teams plan, manage, and track their projects to completion.
Isha Flores, who has been working in education for the last four years, will be taking on the director of operations role at a local Williamsburg, Virginia, charter school this year. The school’s mission is to ensure that all students, regardless of income, make it to and through college.
Congrats you all! And, I am excited to hear more from others! Sending you all best wishes and holiday cheer. Enjoy the season, and see you in 2019!
