First up, some exciting news from Adrienne Hoarfrost. She and Nick Brown ’09 were married during Memorial Day in a beautiful ceremony in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. It was an amazing event and a great time getting to catch up with other ’11s and plenty of ’09s as well. The couple went to Mexico on their honeymoon. Beyond that, Adrienne is there at the University of North Carolina pursuing her doctorate in marine sciences, studying the microbial impact on the carbon cycle in deep subsurface sediments. I admittedly have no idea what that actually means, but very impressive, Adrienne! Congratulations to you and Nick.


Speaking of marriages, Bennett Siegel and Amanda Fuchs got engaged in April in Chicago. Congratulations to them!


Any other ’11 weddings or engagements I should know about? Be sure to pass that information along so it can be included in a future column.


Plenty of our classmates are also starting graduate school this fall. Two are Danielle O’Bannon and Ben Gettinger. Danielle, who has been doing public sector strategy consulting and sales and business development for M Powered Strategies in Washington, D.C., is off to Columbia Business School. And Ben, who has been living in New York and working in Connecticut for the past few years, is heading to Harvard Business School. 


And after three years in the Bay Area Addie Gorlin is moving to Minneapolis, Minnesota, to continue her work in theater. She has grants from the Dartmouth general fellowship and the National New Play Network producer-in-residence to fund an artistic directing apprenticeship at Mixed Blood Theatre in Minneapolis. As she says, she’ll basically be working alongside the artistic director at the theater learning how to run a nonprofit theater. 


That’s it for this round of updates. Please be sure to keep me updated on what’s new or going on with you all.
