Class Note 2025
Issue
November-December 2025
Class Note 2025. Hello, everyone. I still can’t believe it’s only been a few months since we all danced it off with Sandra Oh in beautiful Hanover! Class of ’25s have been out and about, whether going straight into the workforce, starting graduate school, or enjoying blissful days of “funemployment” before the next adventures ahead. I had the pleasure of running into classmates Leila Ambrus, Caroline Lesser, and Danai Makoni on an unexpected one-night trip to Boston. It was a blast to reminisce on the highs, lows, and everything in between of our time in Hanover, even just for a few hours by the Charles. If you have any run-ins with classmates, please send a note to me. Also, keep an eye out for announcements about mini-reunions from the class executive council!
For the first few editions of Class Notes, I wanted to highlight ’25s in different regions, with this note focusing on those a hop, skip, and a jump from Hanover in New England and Boston.
Alejandra Carrasco, the ’25 class executive council president, is currently serving as a Great Issues fellow at Dartmouth’s Dickey Center for International Understanding in the global health and development cluster during 2025-26. Through this role, she supports student programming and applied projects while working at the College in Hanover. From Peru, she says she most misses the everyday hellos with her ’25 classmates around campus and traditions such as the bonfire. As a proud member of the 2021 First Year Summer Enrichment Program, the first-gen/low-income community she found at Dartmouth remains her “second family.” She has been excited at how many young grads have found their way back to Hanover, with the ’25 contingent in the Upper Valley more than 70 strong!
Boston is quite the hub for ’25s, with more than 140 members of the class in the area. Teya Purimetla lives in the city with a group of her close college friends. When I asked her what she missed most about Dartmouth, she said, “I miss the spontaneity and levity of college. But I’ve been appreciating the intention, ownership, and pause of postgrad life a lot!” Dartmouth connections are also evident in the Boston workplace: Ally Burg and Alice Cook are working together at a government consulting company.
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, including this magazine. And don’t forget to send life updates, random Dartmouth run-ins, or any connections with your classmates to me at prescott.herzog@gmail.com to be featured in the next edition of Class Notes!
