Class Note 2015
Issue
Jan - Feb 2016
Happy winter, ’15s! It was great to see so many of you at Homecoming a few weeks ago, jumping right back into coffee lines at Dirt, drinks at Murphy’s and chance encounters with old friends on Webster Avenue. I’d also like to point out that it rained at the bonfire the year before and the year after our time in Hanover. Coincidence? I think not. Merely months after graduation so many of you are doing incredible things, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to share them here. Continue to send me anything you’d like published in this space, and keep up the inspiring things you’ve been doing.
Since August Cameron Hunter has been taking part in the Coro Fellowship in Public Affairs in Pittsburgh. During his fellowship he has been working with community development corporations to strengthen youth programs throughout the greater Pittsburgh area.
Valerie Orellana is volunteering in Cusco, Peru, and has crazily run into the Dartmouth advanced language study abroad people and an ’00 at Machu Picchu. “We find each other all over the world!” she says.
Tasha Bock wrote and illustrated Feminist Felines, a book for equal-rights advocates, cat lovers and pun aficionados, both young and old. For more information, check out her site at FeministFelines.com.
Team Friendsy, including ’15s Tasha Wilkins and Dylan Sewell, is launching a new chatroom app this week called Flock. The app will be listed in the App Store as Flock—Chatrooms.
Amanda Zieselman and Marina Plesons founded the global health equity nonprofit, Health Advocacy Innovations (www.healthadvocacyinnovations.org). Their current project is a system to improve pediatric tuberculosis treatment. Currently, doctors must cut each individual pill by hand, as there are no child-friendly drugs available. Health Advocacy Innovations is designing a device to more accurately and efficiently dispense medication and is partnering with the Rwandan Ministry of Health to pilot the system in Kigali. Health Advocacy Innovations is also working with professionals at Dartmouth, Goodwin Procter, Partners in Health, USAID, the Sentinel Project and Children’s Mercy Hospital.
Daniel Calano is pursuing a music career in New York City in production, events and consulting, as well as performing. Check out his single with ’15 producer Evan Griffith and keep an eye out for an EP coming soon!
