Hello '05s! Welcome back to your Class Notes! Can you believe that the '10s will be starting their Dartmouth experience any day now? As always, we have lots of information on your classmates this issue—please keep sending it in!
Congratulations to Alli Bevernick, who is engaged to Justin Ballard—the couple is planning to be wed soon, in October 2006!
Ben Noland and Elizabeth Madden also decided to tie the knot. The pair was engaged in January and will be married on December 2 in Lynchburg, Virginia. Elizabeth tells me that "Olivia Whitinger and Sasha Rogers are two of my bridesmaids, and Matt Miller is one of Ben's groomsmen."
Our very own Tommy Dickie was recently mentioned in The New York Times theater section for his role as Stefano in the Millennium Talent Groups Tempest Tossed Fools. Comparing him to one of his comedic heroes, it said, "As Stefano, Tommy Dickie displays a Jim Carrey-like ease with goofy physical comedy."

Andrew Goldstein spoke on June 28 with DGALA at the Dartmouth Club of New York. Also on the panel was current SA president Tim Andreadis '07.
Kirstin Ellison recently received a promotion at her job at Common Cause, now also working as the Web and blog master. Check it out at www.commonblog.com.
More excelling '05s—Ariel Dowling recently received an NSF funding through its graduate research fellowship program. Ariel is studying for her M.S./Ph.D. in mechanical engineering at Stanford, working on a project about anterior cruciate ligament injuries of the knee.
Dan Hui tells me that Jill Baskin is moving from Seattle to Charlottesville for her art history Ph.D. at the University of Virginia. Ariel Churnin just finished a studio art internship back at the College and is moving to New York City to attend the Studio School for painting and drawing this fall. Sarah Stein will begin attending NYU Law this fall. Ryan Sirianni has been attending Columbia Law School and plans to graduate in 2008. Katrina Koslov also just finished her first year of grad school as a social psych grad student at Harvard. Last I heard she was looking forward to doing research there over the summer.
Also headed to grad school this fall is Andrew Verstein. Andrew's been globetrotting with an international internship this past year - he had stints in New York, Mexico City, Milan, and Paris. His next adventure is Yale Law School.
This past summer, from July through August 27, the work of Narissa Chang, Krista Oopik, and Diana Lee was on display in the Hopkins Center as part of the Perspective in Design Award Exhibition.
Now working in real estate is Ben Grinnell who wrote to tell me about his new job in Washington, D.C. Congratulations!
This past June 16 Nate Saperia ran the Anchorage Marathan, raising more than $4,000 for the New York City chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Among his donors were many members of the class of 2005—you are all such an inspiration!
