Happy fall, ’03s!

Being a New Englander by birth, fall always has me longing for cool, crisp days, changing leaves, and hot apple cider. With all luck, by the time this is published Dartmouth will tell us Homecoming is in person this year.

Jesse Jones reports that he married Amy Fuller (Claremont McKenna College ’07) about five years ago in a small garden ceremony in Palo Alto, California, with Adam Kaplan and Yorell Manon-Matos, DMS’02, in attendance. He and his family now live in Mountain Brook, Alabama, just outside Birmingham, where his wife keeps busy chasing 9-month-old Harlan. Jesse is with the neurosurgery department at University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital. He’d love to see more alums in the area, though he was able to hang out with Wes Jones ’02 fishing on the Tennessee River last year prior to Covid. Great to hear from you, Jesse!

Chanel Frazier writes in with a couple pieces of news. In May Chanel was appointed to lead BlackRock’s Atlanta innovation hub. She will now hold a dual role, serving as head of the innovation hub in addition to being head of business strategy for the portfolio management group. Also in May Chanel was named to the EMpower “Top 100 Ethnic Minority Executives List” for 2021. This is the second year she has received this honor. Congratulations on both fronts, Chanel!

Finally, I heard from Alex Rich, who shares the news that he received tenure last spring as associate professor of art history at Florida Southern College (FSC) and this winter was named the George and Dorothy Forsythe Endowed Chair in Art History and Museum Studies. He also continues his roles as the executive director and chief curator of the Polk Museum of Art in Lakeland, Florida, chair of the department of art history and museum studies at FSC, husband, and dog dad. Congratulations on your achievements!
