Class Note 2016
Issue
November-December 2020
Hi, ’16s! Hope everyone is doing well. It has been a wild year and 2021 can’t come soon enough! Let’s close out the year with a jam-packed class notes filled with updates from our classmates.
Shay Vellanki graduated from medical school in May and started her residency in internal medicine at George Washington University Hospital this summer. She’s excited to be in the D.C. area!
Soyeun Yang wrapped up four years at Bain and started at Columbia Business School this fall.
Lauren Russell also started business school at Columbia this fall.
Margot Bryne started business school at Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern.
Kate Hamilton graduated from the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama with an M.F.A. in dramatic writing and moved to Los Angeles.
Sarah Koulogeorge is working on the state analytics team for the Biden campaign.
Rachel Margolese, Callan George, and Penelope Williams moved in together in Somerville, Massachusetts, with Callan’s adorable dog Darcy.
Sharjeel Syed graduated from Stanford Medical School and started internal medicine residency at the University of Chicago.
Miguel Pena graduated from Tufts University School of Medicine this past May and is starting his master’s in public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School with a concentration on social and urban policy this August. He also won the Alfred K. Priest Fellowship for the academic year 2020-21 to support his studies at Harvard.
Aileen Zhu moved to San Francisco back in February and is excited to connect with Dartmouth alums in the area.
Myles McMurchy is residing in Greenwich Village in N.Y.C. and entering his second year of law school at NYU. During the summer he worked as a summer associate at Linklaters, a London-based law firm. Myles wrote in that he is “hoping that come December, New York City will remain ‘re-opened’ to attend Mariah Carey’s Christmas concert at Madison Square Garden,” as has become his annual tradition.
And a few “love in the time of Covid-19” updates.
In May John Damianos got married to Vungelia Glyptis ’17 in her hometown of Cleveland. John writes in that they “had planned for a literal big fat Greek wedding, but the pandemic forced us to scale back.” They ended up having a very special and intimate celebration with their parents and siblings for a grand total of nine people. In June John graduated from medical school at Geisel, concluding his eight-year stint in Hanover. The couple moved to New Haven, Connecticut, where John began his residency in internal medicine at Yale New Haven Hospital. In addition to his work at the hospital, John serves on the editorial review board for Elsevier’s Medical Education Clinical Key, a question bank editor for TrueLearn, and an editor at the In-Training online magazine. Vungelia has been working from home as a retail consultant for Ashley Stewart.
Shreya Indukuri and Akshai Baskaran got engaged at the botanical gardens in San Francisco on July 12 and celebrated right after with friends and family at a social distance.
Mackenzie Garrity and Greg Zales got engaged in June.
Victoria Li got married to Xiang Siow on August 26.
And that’s a wrap on 2020 Class Notes! Hope you all have an enjoyable holiday season. Please continue to write to me with updates, it’s great to hear from you all!
