As I write this message on a rainy October evening I can’t help but think about the fact that when you’re reading this, it will be almost 2017. With the fresh start of a new year, I wanted to ask all of you to think about what you’d like out of this column. As our classmates continue to move across the globe, experience ever-changing roles at work and in their personal lives, I find value in continuing to keep a large portion of this space dedicated to their updates. However, I’d also like to push the limits of what we can do here and would love to hear what you have to say.

On that note we have updates and updates about updates for this month’s issue. In an effort to make sharing content easier than ever before, and with the goal of getting increased class contributions to this column, we’ve launched an Instagram. Follow us and tag your picture and memories at d_class_of_2015 and keep an eye out for column themes and chances to share your thoughts and updates. Additionally, we’ve got a brand-new email address for updates, so send anything you’d like shared to 15classupdates@gmail.com. Please don’t hesitate to send feedback on the topics or items you would like shared in our Class Notes.

As for updates from the rest of the class of 2015, here’s the latest on what our classmates have been up to!
