Class of 2018

Hi, ’18s! I hope everyone is ready for a great summer! As the seasons change, we have a few exciting updates to share with the class.

Earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, Emily Everhard’s original teleplay, Tektite, won the prestigious 2024 Sundance Institute and Alfred P. Sloan episodic fellowship. Emily is an actress, writer, and director who draws inspiration from true stories told through a queer, female perspective.

She is currently completing her M.F.A. in screenwriting at Columbia University. Tektite is inspired by NASA’s first all-female mission in 1970. The teleplay follows five elite female scientists joining an aquatic NASA mission who must band together to survive in the depths of the ocean. While at Dartmouth Emily studied U.S. history, which had a strong influence on this work. Congratulations, Emily, on this incredible honor!

Since graduation Katie Clayton and Elena Horton have continued diving deeper into their passion for endurance sports. Katie is an accomplished triathlete, and Elena is an elite ultramarathoner. Both Katie and Elena are now coaching together at The Endurance Drive, which is a multi-sport endurance coaching platform. Together, they launched a podcast earlier this year called Female Athlete Stories under The Endurance Drive Podcast. Please check out their coaching at theendurancedrive.com, and give a listen to Female Athlete Stories, which is available wherever you get your podcasts. Congratulations, Katie and Elena, on your incredible athletic achievements and this exciting new chapter as you help others to achieve their goals!

Thanks to everyone who submitted their updates and stories. Wishing you all the best; have a great summer!
