Class Note 2003
Issue
May-June 2022
Happy spring, ’03s. Memories of Green Key lawn parties and live music and the first rays of Hanover sun after a long winter and mud season are in the air. I’ll have been up in Hanover in late April (if all goes well) for the Dartmouth College Fund committee meeting and hope for a little Hanover spring!
Babies: The ’03 family continues to grow. John Burr and his fiancée, Melody Edwards, welcomed their first child, John Burr V, into the world on November 19, 2021.
Grace Lee and Troy Campbell became parents to Lillian Pearl Li-Han Campbell on January 25 in Los Angeles. Grace reports that they are tired but happy she is here. Congrats to our new parents!
Gregory d’Incelli wrote in with an update. Greg has been an attorney in Miami since graduating from law school in 2008. He lives there with his wife, Kirstin (Etengoff) d’Incelli (Ohio State ’05), and their two daughters, Esmerelda (4) and Sabine (11 months). In May 2021 Greg left the law and together with two cofounders launched Scenius Capital, a crypto fund of hedge funds focused on providing diverse, actively managed exposure to the digital assets ecosystem. He’s proud of the fund performance to date and excited about his new career. More information is available on Scenius.Capital. Greg keeps in close touch with Mike Abbate ’01 and Karl Baumert ’01, who serve as fund advisors, and has been honored by support from other Dartmouth alums for the fund. Best of luck on your new venture, Greg!
I received news of Dr. Christena Cleveland’s newest book, God is a Black Woman. Published in February, it details her 400-mile walking pilgrimage across France to the ancient shrines of Black Madonnas. Christena’s journey led her through mountains to reach 18 Black Madonna sites in France, including Our Lady of Miracles in Mauriac and Our Lady of the Fountain in Mende. Her pilgrimage enabled her to encounter aspects of the Black female God who “guides us along the freedom path,” “cherishes our hot mess,” “is unapologetically Black,” and “loves by letting go.” After Dartmouth Christena earned her Ph.D. in social psychology from the University of California Santa Barbara. Most recently she taught at the Duke University Divinity School and currently resides in Boston. God is a Black Woman is Christena’s third full-length book. Congratulations on your newest publication, Christena!
Finally, I heard from Alexis Jhamb, who reports that she is still living in Kazakhstan and hopes to begin some regional travel as restrictions ease. Separately, Alexis is working with a collaboration of alumni-led groups in honor of May Mental Health Awareness Month to launch a series that will feature Dartmouth alumnae sharing their stories of balancing mental health and wellness. Stories are being published at inspire.host.dartmouth.edu, and Alexis encourages you to share your story. Thanks for your efforts in raising awareness of mental health needs in the Dartmouth community and beyond.
As always, I’m impressed by my fellow ’03s! Send me news at the email below.
