1992

Don't be fooled by the information at the bottom—its Mike Mahoney. For the last 15 years I have been lucky enough to chronicle your news here in the alumni magazine. It's time for new blood! I am handing the torch over to Kelly Shriver Kolln, so you will be happy to know that while a newperson is writing it, the message will be coming from the same UGA DNA (Hinman second floor, R.I.P.). I know from talking to her at the reunion that Kelly is excited for the chance to do these notes, and I leave it in good hands. It doesn't hurt that she is married to Thies Kolln, also a '92, so they can double up on coverage. Kelly's information is below. To those of you who attended our 20th reunion—and it was a record-setting number of more than 300, so there were a lot ofyou—I hope you had as good a time as I did. What a fantastic weekend in Hanover! I can hardly wait for our 25th! Afew orders of business. First off, we have unveiled D92, the first Dartmouth class application for iPhones and Androids. The mobile app offers a number of safe and secure ways to help members remain connected and engaged. Features of the first release of the D92 app allow classmates to view and RSVP for class events/mini-reunions, view photos of past events, browse DartmouthAlumni Magazine, check athletics schedules and scores, conveniently network and exchange contact info phone-to-phone, easily look up contact info on alumni and College contacts, contribute to the Dartmouth College Fund and pay class dues and more. Apple users can download the free D92 application by visiting the Apple app store, and it is also available to Android users. Our second class project is under way with chairs Scott Gardner, Dave Harrison and Kevin Kruse. We'll be working with Dartmouth athletics to fund its sponsors program. In turn, that department will assign us a recruit as correspondent to the class that we'll follow for three to four years. This student-athlete will be someone for whom the athletics program has altered the course of their lives for the better, providing an education at Dartmouth they might not otherwise have considered or thought possible. Our caring committee is under way with chairs Jill Goldberg-Arnold and Molly Phinney-Baskette. The vision is to be a facilitator/connector for classmates who are in challenging situations who ask for the class or specific segments of the class (club, team, sorority, etc.) to send letters and e-mails of moral support. Classmates must reach out to the chairs and privacy will be maintained; disclosures will only be to the extent our classmate authorizes. You can visit our new site's executive committee page to reach out to Jill or Molly at www.dartmoutn92.org/about-us. Finally, as I hand off the reins for our class notes, I will be going from thinking about our class every two months to thinking about it every day. Yes, the class of 1992 is making the move to Twitter! You can check us out at @dartmouth19992. Once again, I want to thank eveiyone for your help putting these notes together over the last several years. It has been a privilege to be the "face" or "voice" of the class. jpoo Cottage GroveAve. SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403; (319) 533-4326;dartmouth92news@gmail.com
