Hello hello hello, my fellow ’12s. It’s been too long! Let’s not let this happen again, okay? Joking. But not all at the same time, because you guys have been a bit too quiet for my liking—so really let’s not let that happen again, okay? In other words, send me updates people! Please and thank you. I’ve got some good ones for ya, compliments of my fabulous Facebook-stalking abilities (you can compliment me in your e-mails filled with updates that I know you’re all going to rush off and write after finishing this column). Seriously, I would so much rather hear them all directly from you all, so go ahead, give yourself or another ’12 a DAM-style pat on the back and send me some updates. 


Now before we get to the good stuff, otherwise known as the updates, keep an eye out for information about mini-reunions (I’m looking at you, Toshi Harris- Koizumi and Cat Roedel). Also, not too late to pay class dues. I won’t belabor the point here: Plain and simple, pay ’dem dues.


Alright, without further ado, updates on updates on updates.


Wedding bells are ringing, y’all. Ally Dutton and John Gallagher are engaged. Yay! And…wait for it, guys, so are Emily Shaw and Eric Richards. Double yay! Congrats to all of you. We literally could not be happier for you guys.


More great news on the graduate school front as well, Jessica Reyes was accepted to the University of Pennsylvania’s master of public health program. We know that she will be nothing short of awesome while there. Also, Michael Appeadu just started medical school at Emory. If you’re in the Atlanta area be sure to give him a shout out. On a similar note, Christina Mai finished up her first year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine and is gearing up for year No. 2. Big ups, girl!


Watch out Beantown, Jamie Mclaughlin is coming our way. Try to conceal your utter excitement, my fellow Bostonians. I dare you. 


Lastly, Annalyse Chinco is now a program intern at Global Health Corps, so be sure to give her a high-five next time you see her or buy her a drink. 


Since it is fall, it seems like an appropriate moment to give a shout out to all my fellow grad students (those of us who just could not get enough of school so much so that we had to hop right back into it) and teachers (what’s up, Teach For America?) to wish you all good luck with the new school year! 


Happy fall, y’all. Until next time.
