Hello, ’05s!


I hope everyone is enjoying the summertime, a bit of vacation and relaxation in the sun. We have lots of news this month, so I will cut the chat and get right to it. First off, if you have not already heard, one of our classmates became a Pulitzer Prize winner earlier this year! Huge congratulations to Joe Rago, senior editorial writer for The Wall Street Journal, who won the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing. His 10 award-winning editorials focused primarily on issues related to ObamaCare.


Congratulations are also in order for Katrina Koslov, who recently graduated from Harvard with her Ph.D. in social psychology. She moved to San Francisco to take a position as a research scientist at UCSF and writes, “In our spare time Michael Morris and I are planning our July wedding in the Santa Cruz mountains!” Best wishes to both of you.


Alexis Jolly was recently published in the Huffington Post for an article titled, “Just Your Typical Blood-Spattered, Knife-Wielding, Utterly Charming, Sustainability-Focused, Tweeting Neighborhood Butchers.” His article received wide recognition on the National Food Blog and among sustainability groups across the United States.

Another recent accomplishment that deserves Dartmouth Alumni Magazine recognition is Daniel Hassouni’s completion of the Boston Marathon this April. In addition to completing 26.2 miles, Daniel lives in Washington, D.C., and works for a company that trades in electricity markets. He hopes to continue work in the energy industry from here on out.


Carrying on the recent class tradition, two more ’05s tied the knot this spring! Elizabeth (Betsy) Williamson and Jesse Klempner were married on May 21 in Topsfield, Massachusetts. Jesse wrote, “A lot of Dartmouth people were kind enough to make the trip. Included in the wedding party were Adam White, Matt Nielsten and Kristy Charbonneau.” There were too many other ’05s in attendance to list—the sign of a fantastic couple and a great wedding! Congratulations to both of you.


Jenny Gapinski also got married this spring after becoming Dr. Gapinski in May. Ashley (Donnenfeld) Shackelton wrote, “Jenny graduated from Columbia Medical School and started her residency in pediatrics at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine. Jenny got married to Michael Lucarelli on May 28 in Boston. Victoria Corder, Lauren (Hoehlein) Joseph, Whitney (Zirkle) Liddy, Kate Schoener, Ashley (Donnenfeld) Shackelton, Kelly Thomason and Christina Wolf were bridesmaids.”


In other news, Katherine Mulley wrote a play that will show in the New York International Fringe Festival August 12-20. Congratulations on a wonderful accomplishment!


Please keep the news coming, everyone.
