Class Note 2019
Congratulations, ’19s, we did it! Graduating from Dartmouth is such a bittersweet experience, and I hope we can all stay connected to the College on the Hill. I am looking forward to sharing major life milestones with our class for the next five years. Please feel free to send updates on your life, including if you’ve moved to a new city, are attending graduate school, or have gotten engaged, to dartmouth2019classnotes@gmail.com. You can also reach out via my personal email or social media platforms.
Fisher Katlin writes, “A few days after graduation I had the privilege of going to Poland with Dartmouth Hillel on Project Preservation, a service trip meant to teach a mixed group of Dartmouth Jews and non-Jews about the legacy of the Jewish community in Poland from medieval times to the Holocaust to today. As the progeny of Polish Jews myself, words cannot really describe how important and impactful this experience was for me. On one hand, it was beautiful to see the monuments and museums set up to honor the Jews of Poland as well as getting to spend Shabbat with Jews who live in Warsaw today; on the other hand, it was unimaginably difficult to process the horrors that my ancestors faced and the total annihilation of a once truly beautiful community coupled with mixed attitudes of Poles themselves toward their own difficult history.” After returning from Poland, Fisher went on a rafting trip down the Green River in Utah with several other ’19s. Fisher will be moving to Boston to start a job at Brigham and Women’s Hospital as a clinical research coordinator for the comprehensive breast cancer surgery unit.
