Hi, ’18s! I hope everyone had a wonderful summer. We have some exciting updates to share in this column.
Jiarui Wang moved to San Francisco in June to join a venture capital firm as an investor. He is very excited for the new job and wrote that he “finally broke in after a career trek hosted by what is now the Magnuson Center introduced me to the industry six years ago.” He will be joining Chris Kymn and Shuoqi Chen in the Bay Area and would love to meet up with other ’18s in the area! Jiarui will also be hosting friends Jerrel Catlett and Caroline Petro in July as they stop by on their California road trip. It sounds like you are in for a wonderful summer in San Francisco, Jiarui! Congratulations and best of luck in your new job!
Annie Huang is moving to Australia for a new job in Sydney. Annie has lived in New Zealand for the past year and is looking forward to the move and this new opportunity. She invites everyone to please get in touch if they find themselves in the area. Congratulations, Annie!
Finally, I have a bit of personal news. On June 25 Emily Choate (yours truly) and Liam Fortin were married at St. Bernard Church in Keene, New Hampshire, followed by a beautiful reception at Aldworth Manor in Harrisville, New Hampshire. The entire wedding weekend was so incredibly beautiful, moving, and all-out fun! We loved reconnecting and celebrating with so many of our amazing Dartmouth friends, especially bridesmaid Sophie d’Orchimont and groomsmen Garrett Martin, Peter Blum, Carter Noordsij, and Andrew Ogren. Liam and I are endlessly grateful that Dartmouth brought us together, and Hanover will always feel like our home. We are so excited to embark on this next chapter in married life together! Thank you to everyone who made our wedding so special—we will remember it for the rest of our lives!
Thanks to everyone who submitted their updates and stories. It’s so good to hear about what everyone is up to! Have a lovely fall, ’18s!
