Class Note 2013
I hope everyone is doing well, wherever you may be living now. Thank you to everyone who sent in updates for Class Notes. It’s a privilege to hear from so many of you every other month. Please keep updating me about what you’re doing and where you’re going!
I could not be happier to share the exciting news that several of our classmates are planning weddings and expanding their families. We wish you all the best, and I can’t wait to report more soon about your adventures together!
Melanie (Parnon) Guyer and Martin Guyer are thrilled to announce the arrival of their son, Willem Edward Guyer, on November 10. Melanie reports that both she and Willem are doing great. Congratulations to the happy parents! Thomas Prewitt got engaged in September and recently accepted a full-time ministry position with Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) in his home state of Colorado. He says, “I was involved with FCA in high school and college, but now have the tremendous opportunity to serve on staff.” Congratulations, Thomas!
Angela Gauthier and Andrew Zureick recently became engaged. Angela is in medical school at Yale University and Andrew is also pursuing his M.D. at University of Michigan Medical School. Best wishes, Angela and Andrew! In other exciting news, Clau Becerra reports from New York that Emily Tomlinson got into Columbia Law School.
A team of several Dartmouth alumni recently had a book accepted for publication by the University of Chicago Press. Justin Bauer ’12, Yoo Jung Kim ’14, Andrew Zureick and Daniel Lee have authored What Every College Science Student Should Know, a guide for incoming undergraduate students on how to succeed in college science, technology, engineering and math coursework, majors, research and career planning. Christie Henry ’91 will edit the book, which is slated for publication by the end of 2015.
After living it up in the Pacific Northwest for a while, Katie Adams moved in January to Washington, D.C., where she is working as a research assistant at Medstar’s simulation training and education lab (SiTEL). SiTEL is working to transform healthcare education by developing 21st-century training technologies with innovative educational approaches that are user friendly and easily accessible.
Pat Healy is also in D.C., working as a research analyst for the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In his current role he assists economists in creating training material for classes offered by the IMF to government officials, including staff from central banks, ministries of finance and other governmental organizations. Pat says, “In particular, I’m helping to put some of the fund’s core macroeconomic and finance classes online via edX.org (I was proud to see that Dartmouth actually recently joined the massive open online course initiative too). Outside of work I’m enjoying living in Arlington, Virginia, and exploring all the D.C. area has to offer.”
Scott Lacy is now living in Jackson, Wyoming, working as a mechanical engineer, and in March he is rafting the Grand Canyon with friends. He says visitors are always welcome in Jackson!
Sara Stone has been temporarily reassigned from Fort Collins, Colorado, to Newark Liberty International Airport to work in the quarantine station and monitor travelers for infectious diseases. She will be there for a while, so if you are flying through, give her a shout! From New York City, Grace Afsari-Mamagani writes in that she is curled up beneath a tower of energy drink cans, because some things never change. Grace will receive her master’s after completing a thesis—way to go, Grace!
That’s all of this month. Stay safe and keep exploring, class of 2013!
