May - Jun 2013

Hello, ’05s. I don’t know about you but I was floored when I saw a save-the-date for our 10-year reunion in my inbox last week—can we really be almost 10 years out of college? Life seems to be moving more quickly than ever these days and we all have exciting things going on. Weddings, babies, new jobs, publications, movie showings—please don’t forget to share your news with us so we can stay connected and congratulate you on all your wonderful achievements!


Speaking of achievements, Mallory Fosdick and Moira Sullivan ’07 climbed Mount Kilimanjaro earlier this year to raise money for a victims’ advocacy organization called Victims for Justice. They raised a total of $2,400 while ascending approximately 19,300 feet. Congratulations, ladies!


Another exciting ’05 accomplishment is the recent publication of Caitlin Farrel’s book Choice and Challenges: Charter School Performance in Perspective by Harvard Education Press. Caitlin wrote the book while working as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California at Berkeley after graduating with her Ph.D. in urban education policy from the University of Southern California last July. For more information about Caitlin’s book, please visit www.hepg.org/hep/book/177/choicesandchallenges.


Caitlin also wrote that classmate Stephanie Mathews Kazantsev is starting her second year at University of Chicago medical school. Stephanie’s son Noah celebrated his first birthday in December 2012. Congratulations, Stephanie, and happy birthday to your little one!


We also received word that Jennifer “Jen” (Coffey) Lingle recently joined the Tampa, Florida, office of GrayRobinson, P.A. as an associate in the firm’s real estate practice group. Prior to joining GrayRobinson Jen worked as an associate at Arent Fox LLP in New York.


Congratulations to Kristen Reeves, who married Will Jones on March 1 in Fairfax, Virginia. Kristen and Will met while students at George Mason University School of Law. Class of 2005 Dartmouth attendees at the wedding included Sue AnderBois, Chandra Myrick, Phil Klay, Pradine Saint-Fort and Kirstin Ellison. The father of the groom, Harris Jones ’66, is also a Dartmouth alum. Best wishes, Kristen!


Kirsten Ellisonis currently living in Kabul, Afghanistan, where she works for the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). ISAF supports reconstruction and development in Afghanistan and helps local government establish rule of law to promote human rights.


I hope the rest of you are doing equally exciting things and enjoying life to the fullest. Please be in touch when you can! Take care.
