Class Note 2003
Issue
May - Jun 2018
Happy spring, ’03s! I suspect mud season is setting in about now in Hanover, along with destroyed shoes for everyone. When was the last time you visited Dartmouth? Write in and tell me about it and your thoughts on the changes to campus. I had the pleasure of being in Hanover last October to participate in a panel on “Breaking the Mold: Careers in the Social Sector” through the Dartmouth Center for Service. While I was in town, Sarah Murray Sliva came down from Jericho, Vermont, where she resides with her husband, Steve Sliva ’02, and their two children, to spend an afternoon with me replenishing our Dartmouth gear at the Dartmouth Co-op and checking out the new Alpha Xi Delta house (AZD), where we were entirely jealous of the full kitchen current sisters get to enjoy instead of the toaster oven and microwave we had in the Beta house! Of course, we also had to stop in to Molly’s for margaritas!
I heard from Colin McGlynn, who wrote in to announce that he and Anna Serotta welcomed their first child. Peter Rosse Serotta-McGlynn arrived in December, and his parents can’t wait to take him up to Hanover for his first visit. Hope you have the Dartmouth onesie ready for the photo op, Colin and Anna!
Classmate Jared Thorne recently wrapped up a photography exhibition at the University of Missouri Kansas City Gallery of Art. The exhibit featured Jared’s vision of social class and race through print images of wax sculptures from the National Great Blacks in Wax Museum. Jared is currently a professor at the art department at the Ohio State University. Congratulations to Jared on his continued professional success.
Finally, Jillian Powers shares the sad news that her canine companion, Brutus Powers, passed on December 22, 2017. Brutus joined our class in the spring of senior year from the West Lebanon, New Hampshire, pet shop. He accompanied Dr. Powers through her academic pursuits and brought joy to her students and fellow faculty. Personally, I remember Brutus romping around the great hall of AZD as a tiny fluff-ball of a puppy. I’m sorry for your loss, Jill, and I will certainly take an afternoon nap in his honor as you suggested.
I’d love to hear from you for the next column; please send your news to the email address below!
