Hey, ’05s, hope summer is going well for all of you! Thankfully, many of you checked in with us this spring to provide some updates on you or our classmates.
To start, Lee Stempniak was traded from the New Jersey Devils to the Boston Bruins at the NHL trade deadline in late February. He had 10 points in 19 games for the Bruins this winter after coming over in the trade.
Liza Williams wrote to let us know that, “This spring I am graduating from Brown University with a Ph.D. in political science. My dissertation explored immigration ethics and democratic thought. While I am excited to be moving on from my graduate student years, I will miss the vibrant city of Providence, Rhode Island, and the many close friends I’ve made here. I am also thrilled to announce my recent engagement to Davis Moore (Harvard ’10), who works as a portrait artist and community educator. We are planning a summer wedding in Maine for 2017!” Congratulations, Liza and Davis!
In baby news, Kate (Schoener) Bellfy and husband Matt welcomed daughter Elizabeth Schoener Bellfy to the world in March. Lindsey (Horton) de Beer and husband Marc also welcomed a daughter, Emilia “Mila” Marie de Beer, to the world in March.
Finally, Matt Oppenheimer and his company, Remitly, raised a $38.5-million Series C round and launched service in Canada this April. Remitly’s existing business has now passed $1 billion transferred annually—very impressive, Matt and team!
