Class Note 1993
Issue
July-August 2023
Greetings, ’93s! By the time you’re reading this many of us will have been back to Dartmouth for our 30th reunion and still wondering where all that time went!
Todd Sisitsky has spent that time not only cultivating a wonderful career but has recently been elected to serve a four-year term on Dartmouth’s board of trustees. According to his trustee bio, “Sisitsky is the current chair of the Geisel School of Medicine board of advisors and is one of five alumni and healthcare investors instrumental in the launch of the Dartmouth innovations accelerator for cancer” supporting cancer research. He is also “president of the publicly traded alternative asset management firm TPG and is co-managing partner of TPG Capital, TPG’s private equity business in the United States and Europe, where he co-leads the firm’s investment activities in healthcare.” Todd and his wife, Holly, currently live in San Francisco with their three children.
Our globetrotting Munir Haddad ran into Georgia (Green) Gillette at the ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego, California. Georgia is currently vice president of strategic alliances at Opportunity@Work, a Virginia-based company promoting hiring workers who are skilled through alternate routes. Georgia sums up her career in her LinkedIn profile: “I am a senior leader passionate about education and workforce development with global experience in designing innovative programs, building corporate citizenship initiatives, creating effective marketing and communications strategies, and managing high-performing teams. I’ve been fortunate to work in different capacities for several fantastic national and global nonprofits on the forefront of social change, primarily in the youth development and education sectors. I thrive on leveraging the talents and strengths of the corporate sector for nonprofits and the communities they serve.”
Munir also grabbed coffee with cardiologist Kenneth Bilchick in Charlottesville, Virginia, where Ken is a member of UVAHealth. Ken has had a distinguished career specializing in cardiac rhythm abnormalities. He both performs a variety of cardio-corrective procedures and is involved in research regarding cardiac irregularities, having authored more than 30 peer-reviewed publications. He’s also fluent in Spanish and has taken his talents abroad to Spain, Latin America, and the Middle East.
Another doctor making headlines is Pamela Adelstein, who recently joined Fenway Health in Boston as its director of family medicine. According to the press release, “Dr. Adelstein is a family practice board-certified physician who blends her experience practicing mind body medicine and acupuncture with her Western medicine training to care for the whole person and their family.” Pamela also speaks fluent Spanish, is conversational in French and Portuguese, and enjoys the outdoors with her husband and two college-aged children.
Last, but certainly not least, we know where to point you for a good brew! Greg Hoffmeister, and his wife, Michelle, are opening a brewery called Doctor’s Island Brewing Co. According to the Hull Times, the taproom will “look out at the actual Doctor’s Island—the more common name of Black Rock Island, just off the Black Rock Beach at the Hull-Cohasset line,” Massachusetts. It continued, “The Hoffmeister family owns Black Rock Island and said the Doctor’s Island name came from it being the stomping grounds of resident Horace Cook and his doctor pals, who drank whiskey, played games, fished, and unwound with the medicinal quality of the fresh sea air. For nearly a century the family has made it the setting for some of their best summer memories, and they say they’re looking to bring that same laidback vibe to the mainland at their Nantasket outpost for the next century to come.”
Cheers, ’93s! And keep the news coming!
