Hi, ’18s! I hope everyone had a lovely summer. I know that, for many of us, a major highlight of the last few months was our five-year reunion in Hanover! Priyanka Altman described the weekend well, writing, “Eleni Mora, Imanol Avendano, Shirley Gabber, Jimmy Fair, and I had a blast reconnecting at our five-year reunion this year. We’ve had many reunions and adventures together through the years since graduation but being back on campus all together was truly magical. We are all so grateful to Dartmouth (and our McLaughlin freshman floor) for bringing us together!” I agree; it was a magical weekend, and I know many of us are counting down until it’s time to celebrate 10 years.

Brendan Schuetze was very sad to miss reunions, but he had a great reason for not making it! Brendan graduated with his Ph.D. in educational psychology at UT Austin in May. Immediately after graduating, he packed up all his belongings and moved internationally to start a new job as a postdoctoral researcher at the university in Potsdam, Germany. Brendan wrote, “It has been a hectic month and there has been a lot of cultural adjustment and paperwork to complete, but so far it has been a great experience. That said, I hope to see everyone at the 10-year mark.” Congratulations, Brendan. We cannot wait to hear more about your adventures!

Thanks to everyone who submitted their updates and stories. It’s so good to hear about what everyone is up to, and I hope everyone has a great fall!
