Class Note 2015. As we prepare to gather in Hanover for our 10-year reunion in July, this feels like the perfect moment to share a snapshot of the class of 2015. This issue’s updates are full of community, purpose, and celebration. Thank you to those who wrote in, please keep them coming!
Sydney Ellis and Jake Weil were married on September 13, 2025.
Adria Brown married Madeline Greenhalgh after nine years of friendship and two and a half years of dating in September in Tunbridge, Vermont. Her best friend and platonic wife Elena Karis officiated the very gay wedding with Allison Puglisi and Kristina Heggedal ’16 serving as bridesmaids. The couple was celebrated by Dartmouth classmates Karen Afre ’12, Stephen Kirkpatrick ’14, and Tracy Wang; mentors Bruce Duthu ’80 and the Rev. Nancy Vogele ’85; and a giant horse named Snowqueen, a Li’l Sebastian lookalike named Jelly, and a flock of sheep. Adria serves as the director of the Native American program at Dartmouth and would love to see any classmates during reunions. Please drop by her office on the third floor of Collis!
