Class Note 2015
Issue
May-June 2020
This is our final issue of Dartmouth Alumni Magazine before our five-year reunion in June. Enjoy the updates and don’t forget to mark your calendars for our five-year reunion June 19-21 in Hanover for some in-person updates from classmates!
Josh Wang and Diksha Gautham got married November 9, 2019 in Houston! The couple had a fusion Indian-Chinese wedding and now live in San Francisco.
Since her last update, Meghan Hassett won the state senate campaign she managed (it was too close to call for weeks after election night!), then started working with the Union of Concerned Scientists and became certified to teach yoga. After living in five states since graduation, she’s loved calling Chicago home and is thrilled that pals such as Emily Reeves live there now too! Meghan got engaged last June to Max, a Chicagoan who she originally met in North Carolina getting out the vote in 2016. After doing long distance for the first three years of his Ph.D. at Notre Dame, Meghan, Max, and their ridiculous kitty YoYo (he has a lot of extra toes) are finally moving in together this month! Last summer they took their first big trip together gallivanting around the Swiss and Italian Alps with Laura Bergsten. Meghan can’t wait for reunions to introduce Max to her favorite Dartmouth spots: the lodge, the river, and the Theta basement.
Aaron Pellowski and Sean Schultz ’12, who originally met at a Dartmouth student event about cyberbullying, have moved in together and are living in the Govalle district of Austin, Texas, where Aaron works as a high school Latin teacher and Sean is enjoying an exciting career in e-commerce. They wish their best to all their friends in their respective classes.
Grant Sparling got engaged to Kaylin Lindsay Smith in December 2019. They are planning to be married in Canada during the summer of 2021. Please wish them well!
Eli Derrow is currently in his first year at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and will be in Boston at Bain & Co. this summer for an internship.
Elena Karis would like to announce that Adria Brown, her former roommate and current platonic wife, will graduate with an M.S.W. from Washington University in St. Louis this spring. Adria awaits news of summer internship placement but hopes to return to New England to be closer to Elena. The two celebrated their eighth “friendiversary” (and ninth “Galentine’s Day”) in February.
This year Kelsey Stimson hosted her annual home-written murder mystery party, which Abbey Schmitt (starring as Hannah Solo, a smuggler of illegally pirated movies), Maria Sperduto ’14(starring as Bonnie Blue Booty, an heiress with a suspicious past),and other Dartmouth folks attended. Kelsey graduates from Yale Law School this May and is moving to Boston to clerk at the federal courthouse.
