Class Note 2021
Issue
November-December 2024
As I prepare this issue of our Class Notes, it is clear that our class is “on the move”—starting new jobs, moving across the country, pursuing graduate degrees, and many more exciting adventures on the horizon. With the hustle and bustle of life, we can truly appreciate the sentiment that “Tho’ ’round the girdled earth they roam, Her spell on them remains.”
Give a rouse for our classmates and their recent achievements!
Daniel McClafferty is preparing to run the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon. He is running to support Homes for Our Troops, a nonprofit organization that builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post-9/11 veterans to enable them to rebuild their lives. Daniel noted that, “As someone who deeply values the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women, I am passionate about supporting this cause.” I think I speak for our entire class when I wish you the best of luck with the marathon and thank you for your commitment to such a worthy cause. You represent the class of 2021 well!
Caroline Cook was invited back to Dartmouth during reunions to share her research at an event with the Women of Dartmouth focused on gender equality in higher education. Caroline published her debut novel, Tell Them to Be Quiet and Wait, based on the life of the first female professor at Dartmouth. During reunions Caroline led a conversation with Barbara Will, the vice provost for academic affairs at Dartmouth. Congratulations on the publication of your book, Caroline, and all of the work you are doing to bring these conversations on gender equality in higher education to the forefront!
Jennie Rhodes iscurrently pursuing an M.S. (environmental science) at the University of Michigan. This past summer she worked as a climate resilience intern at the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES). Jennie worked on a project with the C2ES’ Climate Resilient Communities Accelerator to advance efforts to boost wildfire and heat resilience in Colorado’s North Front Range. During her internship Jennie traveled to Colorado to work with North Front Range communities on developing resilience hubs and microgrids in the region!
After three rewarding years at McKinsey & Co., Jolie Kemp and Steven (Xiaoqiu) Li will continue their education at Harvard Law School this Fall!
Armond Dorsey has recently started pursuing an M.Div. at the Harvard Divinity School! Armondnoted, “I will continue my work in developing music interventions for Black communities while pursuing training in chaplaincy and ministry in order to create arts interventions that promote physical and spiritual health.”
In Philadelphia Steven Adelberg and Fred Ames are starting graduate school programs! Steven will matriculate into the M.B.A. class of 2026 at the Wharton School after working for three years at BlackRock. And Fred recently started his J.D. at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School.
Bradley Fox has recently started as an M.D. candidate at the Duke University School of Medicine!
And congratulations to Michael Green for receiving the highly competitive NIH F99/K00 “Transition to Aging Research for Predoctoral Students Fellowship” with the National Institute of Aging! This program supports graduate students as they complete their dissertation research and will provide an additional three to four years of support as Michael pursues a postdoctoral position and develops an independent research program. Michael is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in population health sciences at the Duke University School of Medicine. His research focus is primarily on social determinants of health, racial health inequities, and cardiovascular health outcomes research.
