Class Note 2003
Issue
Lots of great news to report this time. I got word that Zev Lowe, as well as Jessica Chervin ’07 and Velizara Passajova ’10, are working as Kiva Fellows. As Zev writes, “Kiva.org is a Web site where you can view profiles of entrepreneurs and choose to help them with their business by making a $25 loan.” Fellows are volunteers who help work with Kiva partners all over the word, “conducting training on technology, Kiva processes and storytelling. Our stories from the field are collected in the following blog: http://fellowsblog.kiva.org.” Interesting stories from interesting people in interesting places—Zev is currently serving in Indonesia. As he pointed out, it makes total sense that so many Dartmouth students and alumni are involved in this organization.
It was also divulged that Matt Muffelman, along with Anthony Fahden ’08, recently represented the United States at the 2009 Rowing World Championships held in Poznan, Poland. I hope Matt will send in an update on the experience (hint, hint). Many kudos for an awesome achievement!
Dan Galemba also wrote to say hello. “Hope things are going well. It’s been a while, but Rebecca Galemba (formerly Meyers) and I finally have an update to report for Class Notes. We both graduated this summer—I got my M.B.A. from Tuck and Rebecca got her Ph.D. in anthropology from Brown. We’re back in the Boston area after a three-year hiatus, where I’m grudgingly returning to the working world as a consultant at Bain & Co. and Rebecca is a lecturer in the social studies department at Harvard. I didn’t want to leave school, but I don’t think Rebecca ever will!”
Finally I also heard from Josh Skora, who wanted to announce he recently became engaged to his girlfriend Laura Woods. “We hope to see a bunch of ’03s at the wedding next Memorial Day in St. Paul, Minnesota.” Congratulations!
