Class Note 2021
Issue
November-December 2023
Hi, ’21s! As the winter season approaches, I am reminded of our winter terms at Dartmouth—filled with snowball fights on the Green, ice skating on Occom Pond, and trudging through the New Hampshire snow on the way to class. I wish you all a peaceful and joyous holiday season and am happy to share with you all a few updates from our class!
In January, after graduating with her M.A. in museum studies, Claire Green Young began work for her tribe as the curator at the Choctaw Cultural Center in Calera, Oklahoma! Since then, she has worked with the community to curate her first solo exhibition Bok Abaiya: Practiced Hands and the Arts of Choctaw Basketry, an exhibition that features more than 60 Choctaw bas-kets, 14 contemporary Choctaw artworks, and various other pieces related to Choctaw history and culture. Claire noted that, “It’s been incredibly rewarding to start work in this field at my dream job, within my community, and so near my family once again. Yakoke!” Congratulations on your first solo exhibition, Claire, we wish you all the best in your future artistic and community-building endeavors!
Best of luck to Alexis Angulos, Ben Schelling, and Jasmine Butler, who have recently started new graduate school programs or a new job! Alexis Angulos started business school at Duke Fuqua. Ben Schelling is starting a Ph.D. program in biological oceanography at Old Dominion University. His research will focus on how tidal flooding (which is enhanced by sea level rise) affects algal blooms and phytoplankton populations in Norfolk, Virginia. And Jasmine Butler started a new job at Codepink: Feminists for Peace to fight the war economy and military industrial complex.
Class of 2021, please send through any updates, awards, promotions, or moves—it would be wonderful to feature you in the next edition of Class Notes! In addition, please be encouraged to send an update about a friend in the class.
