2010

We have a lot to report on in this issue. We have news of overseas adventures, a newly awarded Rhodes Scholar and our fist 'io-to-'io marriage. I wonder how many Dartmouth marriages there are. If you have ever calculated the number, please e-mail me and I will include it in the next column. Even better, if you have any news in general, please send me an e-mail at vbstockman@gmail. com. Don't be bashful! E-mailing me is not a self call because I am asking you to tell me about yourself.

Kelley Weed and Doug Zarbock recently got engaged and will be getting married in September in the Boston area. Kelley and Doug are currently living in Madison, Wisconsin, and are working at Epic, a healthcare software company.

This fall Gabrielle Emanual was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to study at Oxford University. Gabrielle is currently living and working in Mali. On a Lombard Fellowship and a Colby Fellowship, she is working for the Malaria Research and Training Centre. Gabrielle spends part of her time in Bamako, the bustling capital, and part of her time in Bandiagara, which she describes as "a lovely little town in Dogon Country where donkeys far outnumber cars and most buildings are made of mud bricks that crack in the heat." Next year Gabrielle will move to Oxford to pursue a D.Phil, in development studies as a Rhodes Scholar.

Harsh Gupta, the brainy '10 who graduated early during our junior winter, spent some post-graduate time working with MIT Poverty Action Lab in Rajasthan villages and Delhi slums. He is now cofounding an agricultural risk management company. Harsh also writes on Indian public policy for Mint newspaper and Pragati magazine.

Evan Greulich is teaching a variety or English courses at the Lebanese American University in Beirut. Evan states that he "loves hiking around various mountains, valleys, orchards and other parts of the country on weekends and has also enjoyed the semi-famous nightlife of Beirut." He also observed that Beirut (the drinking game) has very little in common with the city. Evan has had many Dartmouth visitors so far. He took Joe Debonis and Michaela Yule, who visited from Amman, Jordan, out in the town to show them various parts of the nightlife of Beirut. Evan also had a coffee with professor Charlie Wheelan '88 and hosted Alex Schindler and one of her friends from Cairo.

Victoria Boggiano reports that her life in Vietnam has been great so far. She states that her work has been pretty worthwhile and interesting and that she has even started learning some Vietnamese and rented a motorbike to drive around in. With her bike and new language skills, Victoria is probably blending in pretty well.

Dan Wagman is working in real estate private equity in Los Angeles, California. He reports tnat he "went to the men's soccer game against UCLA a few weeks ago and saw a ton of alums such as Dan Freeman, Charlie Friedland, Alison Ruderman and Miles Stephens." That sounds fun, and it also sounds like a class mini-reunion. Cory C. and Allie L., can we count it?

Nate Farrar is enrolled at the Johns Hopkins University-Nanjing University Center for Chinese American Studies in Nanjing, China. He is pursuing a master's in international studies and "getting a thrill out of taking courses in both Chinese and English on international relations theory and international law." He recently came back from a trip to Guangzhou, where he saw Andy Wells (aka, Wei Zhi Yi) and attended the 2010 Asia Games. Andy is teaching English through Princeton in Asia and was nice enough to house Nate for a week in his apartment.
