Class Note 2003
Issue
July-August 2022
Greetings, ’03s.
Summer is in full swing. Do you have a favorite memory from Sophomore Summer you’d like to share? Send me a note at the email below. In just two short years we’ll get to experience a bit of a Hanover summer at our 20th reunion! Speaking of which, our class head agents (me, Charlotte Haldeman Whitmore, John Apostolides, and John Robinson) are looking for classmates interested in helping us raise funds for our 20-year class gift. If you would like to be part of this milestone fundraising effort, please reach out. Any assistance is appreciated, even if you are willing to commit to contacting just a few ’03 friends. Did you know that $6 million for financial aid is raised every year from gifts of $250 or under? Every bit makes a difference.
I recently spent three days in Hanover for the biannual meeting of the Dartmouth College Fund committee. If you haven’t been to Hanover in some time, prepare to be blown away by the new buildings on the West End of campus (near Thayer and Tuck), where the recently completed Irving Institute for Energy and Society has opened along with the new engineering and computer sciences center. The spaces are gorgeous and functional for all aspects of student life, including bringing a food services option to that side of campus (How awesome would that have been for River residents?). The opportunities for current Dartmouth students are amazing and enhanced by our class support of the College Fund, which goes directly toward financial aid to help make Dartmouth accessible to the next generation of students.
Elizabeth Tatkow wrote in with a brief update. She reports that she welcomed Sebastian Everett Roy to her family last year and has joined New York Life Real Estate Investors after four years at Morgan Stanley. Congrats on both fronts, Elizabeth!
A Dartmouth news release caught my attention and I learned that our classmate John Turner headed back to Hanover in 2015 to become the director of the Dartmouth Forensic Union (a.k.a. debate). Under his leadership, the team has won back-to-back national debate tournaments this year and last year. Keep up the great winning streak, John!
And a random ’03-related encounter from me: I was walking near my house in Washington, D.C., and came across a couple wearing Dartmouth sweatshirts. I stopped to say hello and ask about their connection to the College. They were Patrick Granfield’s grandparents! It’s a small Dartmouth world!
That’s it for this time, as always, write me with any updates.
