Class Note 2019
Issue
November-December 2021
Hi, ’19s!
I hope you are staying warm and having a joyous holiday season spent with family and friends! I am writing this column in August and can’t even imagine cold weather at this moment, but look forward to the autumn and cooler temperatures that come in November and December. Let’s get into the class news!
The class of 2019 has a lot of future lawyers! Three ’19s wrote in for this edition of Class Notes to share that they were starting law school. Marlene Arias started at Yale Law School, while Celeste Kearney started at Columbia Law School.
After Billy Kosmidis spent the past two years in public sector consulting in Boston, primarily working on guiding the states of Vermont and Massachusetts through the Covid-19 pandemic, he is returning to his midwestern roots to attend the University of Chicago Law School. Alongside his J.D., Billy will also be completing a dual program at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Billy would love for any classmates who are considering law school and might have questions or any alumni who have attended law school and have any advice on surviving the next three years to reach out to him.
Switching gears, this summer Camille Johnson and Milla Anderson picked up rugby again and started playing with the Scion Sirens in D.C. Their team took first at nationals in Seattle and Tatjana Toeldte ’16 and Morgan McGonagle ’18, fellow Dartmouth women’s rugby alumnae, came out to cheer them on!
After two incredible years working at Dartmouth—first with Rauner Special Collections Library, then for the first-year student enrichment program, and most recently at the Collis Center—Alexander Cotnoir is moving to Washington, D.C., to pursue his master of arts in teaching with a concentration in museum education at George Washington University. In D.C. he’ll be volunteering at Iona Senior Services and training for his first marathon and is excited to connect with fellow Dartmouth ’19s in the area! Alexander wants to congratulate friends Miranda Worl for beginning her master’s at Brown, Hanover Vale ’20 for entering a Ph.D. program in geography, and Yolanda Huerta and Dalia Rodriguez Caspeta ’18 for beginning their next adventures after an impactful few years spent supporting Dartmouth’s sustainability office.
I also, unfortunately, have some difficult news to pass along. Andrew J. Laub passed away in the early summer. Andrew grew up in New Canaan, Connecticut, and attended New Canaan Country School and St. Luke’s School. He was a physics major and computer science minor at Dartmouth. After graduation he moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado, to work at CACI, where he worked on a team that managed the Air Force’s global array of satellites and earth stations. He was an avid hiker, leading overnight camping trips on campus with the DOC’s Cabin & Trail sub-group. He was certified as a wilderness first responder and obtained his pilot’s license. Andrew also conducted research on campus with professor Hans-Reinhard Müller. His family described him as a kind soul, blessed with an insatiably inquisitive mind. He attended St. Luke’s School with fellow ’19s Malcolm Joung, who described the world as “worse off without Andrew,” and Monika Gabriele, who described Andrew as a “special, special friend.” He is survived by his parents, George Laub and Heidi Farrish Laub ’84, as well as siblings Nick, Kristin, and Elizabeth and dogs Roger and Blake.
Be well, ’19s! As always, if you have any Class Notes to share, don’t hesitate to reach out.
