A few Saturdays ago I was in Boston on the T with some ’14s and ’15s and ran into a family with the dad sporting a Dartmouth hat. After we successfully conquered the “Dartmouth?” “Dartmouth!” interaction and fell into actual sentences, we chatted briefly about how they were just making their way back from Hanover that day. He then kindly asked us what we do in Boston—to which a reasonable response about our jobs or our lives would have done the trick—and a ’14 replied, “Well right now we’re just looking for some pong!” Among laughter, clarifications about us having actual lives most days of the week and a few suitable jokes we hopped off at our stop. And in hindsight the whole interaction seemed just about right. Elsewhere in the world, ’15s have been at it again accomplishing all sorts of things to make us proud!

Mariah Claw is a contestant in the 70th annual Miss Navajo Nation Pageant. All pageant events took place in the capitol of the Navajo Nation, Window Rock, Arizona, in early September. The duties of Miss Navajo Nation include the ability to promote the preservation of Diné/Navajo language, culture and tradition, more specifically to advocate for the enduring qualities that identify Diné/Navajo woman as the foundation, strength and keeper of cultural teachings as established by White Shell Woman. This event is well known around the world and Mariah is excited to be carrying the spirit of the Big Green in her latest endeavor!
