Class Note 2020
Issue
May-June 2022
Hi all, and welcome to another edition of Class Notes. This issue, please enjoy a collection of lovely updates from our classmates around the world. As we continue our own adventures, I am excited for us to reunite on the Green at our in-person graduation celebration in August!
First, an update from Emma (Sampugnaro) Velicky, who married Alex Velicky on January 17 in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic! It was a proper ’20s affair: Sean Hawkins officiated the ceremony, Linda Xiao was the maid of honor, and many other ’20s (Jiachen Jiang, Isabel Parks, Abenezer Daniel) and even a ’21 (Themis Haris) attended. Says Mrs. Velicky: “We took a really cool picture with the Dartmouth flag at the reception.” While I wish we could include the photo in our Class Notes, I’ll have to settle for a hearty written congratulations to you and your new husband on behalf of the class!
Next, I heard from John Carmichael, who is in his second year working at the Federal Reserve. His work focuses on sustainable finance, greenwashing, and digital currencies, and he recently published a paper on stablecoins. John shared that he relishes working with his talented colleagues to understand how our national financial system can address climate change and better serve the public.
Anjali “Angie” Prabhat moved to Boston this past fall to start her first year at Harvard Medical School. She is currently knee-deep in cardiology and pulmonology didactics and has been loving her work with patients. In her free time she has enjoyed exploring the Boston food scene and going for long walks on the Esplanade. She visited Hanover in October for Homecoming and appreciated the chance to see fellow ’20s. She also visits Dartmouth friends in N.Y.C. whenever she gets the chance.
Finally, Marguerite Irefin shared a snippet into all that she has been up to since graduation: “After graduating I moved to Seattle with some fellow classmates and started my career in finance with Microsoft. I am currently in my second year of the finance rotation program, working in corporate finance on the technical finance team. Outside of work I have been exploring the Seattle area and taking advantage of the amazing ski season. I have recently become a new cat mom thanks to the incredible generosity of Catherine Briggs ’88. I have kept in touch with the Dartmouth community by visiting friends on both coasts and connecting with new faces through the alumni network in the Pacific Northwest. I can’t wait to return to Hanover this summer for graduation weekend and reunite with my classmates!”
On that note: I hope to see you all soon, be it at Dartmouth, over FaceTime, or in another lovely fashion. If you are interested in sharing an update for the Class Notes or penning a guest column, please reach out to me at dartmouth20classnotes@gmail.com!
