Well, ’05s, it’s almost reunion time! We look forward to seeing everyone in Hanover very soon.

First, congratulations to all of our newly appointed class officers, and many thanks to those who have served us proudly as a class these past five years. Let’s keep the great 2005 momentum rolling through 2024!

In terms of classmate job updates, there were a few. Nicole Valco wrote in to let us know she made partner at her law firm, Latham & Watkins, at the start of 2019. She is based in San Francisco and is practicing complex commercial litigation. Elizabeth Saagulik Hensley also recently became a partner at Landye Bennett Blumstein LLP, a regional firm based in the Northwest and Alaska. In her role, she supports tribes, tribal organizations, Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act corporations, Alaska businesses, and others in achieving their missions, visions, and goals.

We also had a few personal updates. Kristin Schaefer and husband Mike welcomed son Hawk in December. Ollie Harker-Smith married Laura Julian in Adare, Ireland, in December, with Scott Darci, Justin Bain, Sam Porter,and Matt LaBarre ’04 in attendance. The couple went on a great honeymoon shortly thereafter and Ollie let us all know how great it was on social media.

Lastly, please continue to write us and follow the class on Facebook and Instagram for the latest and greatest.
