Class Note 1954

Issue

January-February 2021

We just received the Rockefeller Center annual report from our intern, Cindy Shen ’21. “During the fall of 2019 I interned at the Council of Economic Advisors [CEA], an agency within the executive office of the president that offers the president objective economic advice for use in domestic and international policymaking. My larger projects included studying the Affordable Care Act on un-insurance rates among people with pre-existing conditions and coding in Python to aid future CEA macroeconomics research. I primarily conducted research on topics related to healthcare and trade economic policy. I also had the opportunity to contribute to the economic performance of the president with an annual report that delineates the U.S. economic performance and the administration’s upcoming priorities. No day on the job ever looked the same. One minute I’d find myself drafting a memo on the opioid crisis and the next hunting down the volume of dairy exports from a country I hardly knew anything about.”

We are asking all classmates to update their alumni profiles, an online resource that enables each person to determine what types of communications he would like to opt in and out of. The hope is that classmates can refine their connections to the College and class so that they are receiving only those emails they want—and that classmates will then be more comfortable keeping the College current on emails, phone numbers, etc. Classmates will find details on accessing and editing their alumni profiles at www.alumni.dartmouth.edu/connect/find-alumni.

Have you decided to join the 2021 mini-reunion and yearly meeting Friday, September 24, through Sunday, September 26? You can contact Shel Wolff at swoolf1060@comcast.net or text him at (508) 728-5757. There are only so many places available at the Hanover Inn. It should be a great event after all of the restrictions we have had in the past year.

We are saddened by the passing of Dana Low, Raymond Corwin, and Richard Pearl.
