Class Note 2005

Happy almost spring, everyone. I write these updates as 2019 comes to a close, and there were many great things shared by our classmates during the holidays.

Steve Callahan and wife Lizzie ’07 welcomed their third child, daughter Hannah, in October. Hannah joins big brothers Will and Carter in keeping mom and dad super busy.

Molly Turner was elected to the Bridge Housing board of directors in November. Bridge Housing is a leading nonprofit developer, owner, and manager of affordable housing. Molly, an expert on technology startups and cities, is a lecturer at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley. Through her teaching at Haas and her work in the field, she has shaped the conversation about technology’s impacts on urban life and governance. At Haas, Molly teaches the popular class “Tech and the City: How to Get Urban Innovation Right” to graduate M.B.A.s. She is also the co-host and co-producer of the Technopolis podcast from Atlantic Media and CityLab.
