Hello ‘24s!

I hope you are all enjoying the start of your new chapters! When asked to reflect on some favorite moments from our time at Dartmouth, you all shared many precious memories: singing across the hall with Topliff floormates, savoring brownie sundaes at Late Night with friends, spending the dog days of summer at the Dartmouth Organic Farm. And I’d like to add one more: sitting on the Green on impossibly green grass, soaking in the sun under a brilliant blue sky. Read on to hear what the ’24s are up to now!

C.J. Henrich will be pursuing an M.S. in film, exhibition, and curation at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. Prior to beginning graduate school, he is traveling to Beaufort, North Carolina (southern tip of the Outer Banks), to see his grandmother.

Sophia Rubens will be continuing her studies in the physics Ph.D. program at McGill University, conducting research on the cosmic dawn. She will conduct instrumentation and software pipeline research for the Canadian Hydrogen Observatory and Radio-transient Detector (CHORD) telescope. She’s excited to grow as a radio astronomer, to keep exploring Montreal, Canada, and to learn some French. Before beginning her program she’ll spend about two weeks visiting locations across the Iberian Peninsula, including Porto, Vigo, Bayonne, València, and more. Tenha um excelente momento!

Wesley Liao will be traveling to Japan and Korea with Ben Chen, Franklin Ruan, and yours truly. Afterwards, he’ll spend the summer studying for the MCAT before starting a job in life sciences consulting at Health Advances in San Francisco.

It seems our graduates can’t get enough of Dartmouth because a few folks are also staying at our beloved College in the woods. Anthony Fosu writes that he’s excited to be an admissions officer at Dartmouth and then attend law school! He’ll be working with Devontae Lacasse and Simon Lamontagne in the office of admissions. Those of you with siblings applying to college, you know who to call!

Ayushya Ajmani will also be staying in Hanover for medical school at Geisel! He will be rooming with Danny Armella and Valentina Fernandez.

Krista Schemitsch is taking a gap year before medical school to be a studio art intern with the Dartmouth studio art department as well as work for Dartmouth Health part time.

Alexander Robertson will be moving to Dublin, Ireland, to work for a multinational, working with Justine McGuire ’23. First, he’s headed to London to attend the Henley Royal Regatta, a rowing event held annually on the River Thames!

The Big Apple will be welcoming many fresh Dartmouth grads, among them Maria O’Matz. After graduation she’ll be rooming with her random freshman year roommate, Laurel Lee Pitts. “We’re so excited that our friendship, born in South Mass 311, is coming with us to the Upper East Side!”

Ashley Laveriano took a summer job with NASA, working out of the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Afterwards, she will be working full time for CDM Smith, an engineering firm in Boston, on environmental and water quality matters. What are the chances that Keggy gets a seat on the next moon landing?

As you all move to new cities, make sure to share address changes with alumni.records@dartmouth.edu so you can continue to receive college mail. And don’t forget to send life updates to dartmouth2024classnotes@gmail.com to be featured in next edition’s Class Notes!

Finally, I leave you with a word of encouragement from Ashley, quoting Morgan Harper Nichols: “Do not be afraid of what is new. It will challenge you, but it will also prepare you for the depths you have been called to.”
