Class Note 2016

Issue

November-December 2023

It’s fall, y’alls! I hope everyone is doing appropriately fall-themed things such as pumpkin photoshoots and apple picking (with apple cider donuts).

Victoria Li writes in that she’s beginning her M.B.A. as a Forte fellow at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business evening program. For fun she’s also started posting content on body positivity and uplifting petite mid-size women on Instagram @vickytoriali.

I have some personal news for all 1,000-plus of you who rabidly follow Class Notes. Vivian Hu, Cindy Sun, and I recently backpacked the Laugavegur and Fimmvorduhals trails in Iceland. It took us four days of solid hiking to cover the 48.2 miles of trail through beautiful rainbow-colored rhyolite mountains, smoking and egg-perfumed geothermal hotspots, and a last day full of constant sideways rain and scrabbling over ash-covered ice fields. We also saw an exceedingly large number of sheep in strange places—on ledges, next to hot springs, literally on the trail. This was bucket list backpacking for me, and I’m so proud to have done it with fellow ’16s. I’m also now looking for planning advice if anyone’s done the Torres del Paine ‘O’ Circuit in Patagonia. Cheers!
