I hope everyone had a wonderful summer and, for those who attended, a fantastic time at reunion! Speaking of reunion, 440 ’95s and guests registered to attend, including 241 ’95s, which put us nine alumni short of breaking the all-time attendance record for a 15th reunion. All of the credit goes to Lou Spelios, 15th reunion committee chair, and the reunion committee that included Rebecca Slisz, Judi Flynn-Echeverria, Jen Sopko Hee and Corey Fleming Hirokawa. Big thank-yous also go out to Ben Meaning and outgoing class president Natalie Herring. I’ll be mortified if I left out anyone.


In other class news Kaja (Schuppert) Fickes will be taking over as Class Secretary and, therefore, as the author of these Class Notes. You can send updates to her at kaja@alum.dartmouth.org. I’m sad to go, but I know Kaja will do a wonderful job! As for me, I’m switching roles to be newsletter editor, so feel free to continue to send updates and pictures to me at the e-mail address below.


Last, but most certainly not least, I have a classmate update. Alison Mountz recently authored Seeking Asylum: Human Smuggling and Bureaucracy at the Border. She was a senior fellow and is an associate professor of geography at Syracuse (on leave this year at Harvard). Congratulations!
