Jennifer Rackliff is pursuing a master’s of science in global health at Duke and will graduate this spring.

I am thrilled to report that Laura Roche became engaged to Giovanni Camera in Rome, Italy, in early April. Congratulations on the amazing news, set against the backdrop of the most beautiful city in the world! Laura is still working at American Express in London and, judging from her beautiful pictures on Facebook, is traveling the world (most recently Bali!) on weekends. Yes, I am living vicariously!
In other happy news, Cliff Campbell proposed to Kristen McGregor in Brooklyn, New York, by organizing a scavenger hunt that took Kristen through the happiest memories of their relationship. He added one more by putting a ring on it!
And last, but certainly not least, Ben Sislen proposed to Elizabeth Bultman in March. Ben surprised Liz by inviting her family and closest friends to celebrate the news at the couple’s favorite bar in Washington, D.C. Blair Dickinson, Cliff Campbell and Paul Bozzello traveled there for the occasion.
