Class Note 2016
Issue
July-August 2023
Hello, ’16s!
I’m feeling a little nostalgic as I write this column. Can you believe it’s been seven years since graduation?
If anyone else is feeling the nostalgia, check out Andrew Nalani’s contributions to Black Matters: African American and African College Students and Graduates Tell Their Life Stories by professor emeritus Andrew Garrod and Robert Kilkenny. Andrew will join Vanderbilt University this fall as an assistant professor of human and organizational development. Congrats, Dr. Nalani!
Amanda Fritz is one of 14 business students chosen for the 2023 business program of the Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics (FASPE). Fellows participate in a two-week program in Germany and Poland, which uses the conduct of business professionals in Nazi-occupied Europe as a way to reflect on business ethics today. Amanda is currently a second-year student at Columbia Business School, where she is co-president of the gourmet club. Prior to Columbia, Amanda worked at Abrdn on its U.S. private equity team.
Maggie Finn and Matthew Barnes are celebrating their one-year wedding anniversary on August 27. They were married last summer at Ohana Family Camp in Fairlee, Vermont, while surrounded by friends, family, and many wonderful Dartmouth and Geisel classmates.
Robbie Herbst writes in from Chicago about recently deciding to pivot careers to Morgan Stanley. He joins a new division focused on “identifying (very) alternative asset investment opportunities.” Work hard, play hard, Robbie! Robbie is also an amazingly talented violinist with the Chicago Civic Orchestra.
Victoria Li has launched Victoriously Vulnerable, her new podcast in which she and her guests share stories about topics such as mental health, body image, speech impediments, and more. This project is a continuation of her work with the Miss Chinese Chicago pageant, where she won second princess and talent for her flute performance. Tune in on Spotify. If you’d like to be a guest, please reach out to victoriously.vulnerable.media@gmail.com.
Some personal notes: I had an all-too-brief catch-up with Vivian Chen, Vivian Hu, Cindy Sun, and Katie Zhang in New York in March. We ate our weight in hot pot, real lox bagels (New Yorkers, I understand the hype!), and onigiri. It was so sweet to see the ways our friend group has changed and the ways we’ve stayed the same. Wishing everyone a sweet reunion with their friends too.
I recently attended an alumni networking event in the “Triangle,” which had everyone from a ’22 to an ’82. There was even talk about a pong tournament!
