Class Note 2015

Updates this issue have far exceeded a need for introduction. I am excited to share some wonderful classmate news from ’15s ’round the girdled earth.

Sean Gupta started residency training in neurosurgery at Washington University in St. Louis/Barnes-Jewish Hospital. 

Eli Derrow will be attending the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in the fall. 

After completing his master of public policy at Duke University this past spring, Tyler Stoff started a new position in Washington, D.C., as policy and research manager at the American Council on Renewable Energy.

Alec Ring, Luke Katler, and Deby Xiadani produce and host a monthly comedy show about all things food called Good Cooks! at The Tank theater in N.Y.C. The show features tastings, comedy of all kinds, and interviews with professionals from the world of food such as chefs and sommeliers (including Jimmy Boldt).

Carla Yoon spent two years working in refugee humanitarian aid in Egypt and Uganda after graduating from Dartmouth. She is now back in school, pursuing a joint J.D.-M.P.A. program at Harvard Law School and the Woodrow Wilson School.

In March Taylor Luckadue Garcia was blessed with the birth of her beautiful baby girl, Daisy. 

Kevin Francfort got engaged toAmy Couture ’14 during a hike in New Hampshire earlier this year and look forward to getting married in 2020.

Annie Oppenheim is moving to Aspen, Colorado, to continue her work as a middle school teacher.

Colin Quinn and Ari Koeppel recently moved to Flagstaff, Arizona, where they have begun science Ph.D. programs at Northern Arizona University. Together with Singer Horse Capture ’17 and Alex St. Romain ’14, who are also in Arizona, they welcome visits from any ’15s or other Dartmouth folk looking to enjoy beautiful northern Arizona. If you’re in the area, let them know!

Emily Reeves and Caitlin Nicholson ’12 met at Theta in 2015 and got engaged this past December. There were two proposals, since each wanted to pop the question to the other. They’re getting married at a winery near Ithaca, New York, in 2020. Emily is also excited to start Kellogg School of Management in Chicago this fall.
Bridget Shaia married Chris D’Angelo ’16 in October in her hometown of Richmond, Virginia, with many Dartmouth friends of all classes in attendance. Bridget and Chris first met at Dartmouth’s Aquinas House—the same building where Bridget’s parents met 35 years earlier. Bridget and Chris now live in Boston, where you can always find a pint of Morano gelato in their freezer.
