Hello, ’14s! I hope everyone is well! In- spired by the changing seasons, I have decided to start getting rid of some things as I prepare to move from Hanover and into the great big world out there. So I am doing some spring cleaning! However, it’s proving to be harder than I imagined. I did a horrible job packing on the afternoon of graduation, and lots of things have sentimental value—like the Dartmouth T-shirt I tie-dyed during Sophomore Summer that I would never throw out. So I decided to ask members of our class: “What’s an item you acquired during your time at Dartmouth that you will never get rid of?” when asking for updates! Here is what people said.

In October Cheree Mills moved to Columbus, Ohio, to start a merchandising training program at the Abercrombie & Fitch home office. One thing from Dartmouth she’d never get rid of is her puppy, Jo. She got her senior year, and now Jo is living with Cheree in Columbus.

Jennafer “Jenna” Vickers is currently working at a tech startup called Neon Labs in San Fran- cisco as the happiness coordinator/office admin- istrator. “At Neon,” she says, “we currently focus on helping companies select video thumbnails using our program, which models how the brain responds to images in order to promote engage- ment and increase click-through rates of videos. The Bay Area is proving to be super fun to explore and I’m really enjoying living on the West Coast!” As for an item she acquired at Dartmouth that she will never get rid of: “That would be my Winter Carnival poster. It’s too cool to ever get rid of.”

Rohail Premjee would never abandon his signed copy of former Dartmouth President James Freedman’s book, Liberal Education and the Public Interest. Which makes sense, consid- ering Rohail’s interest in a career in higher edu- cation and current position as the presidential fellow for operations and special projects in the president’s office at Dartmouth.

Claire Arthur has been living in Chicago and working at AEI Consultants, where she performs environmental due diligence during commercial real estate transactions. She lives with Kara Das- trup “in a neighborhood that is way too hip for us,” she says. Graylin Harrison has been in Milan teaching English and also working as an assistant to artist Jacopo Miliani. She says, “the latter is particularly exciting as it allows me to experience firsthand the contemporary art culture of Italy, which has been an intellectual interest of mine for quite some time.”

Members of the 2014 class executive com- mittee have selected an excellent, totally exciting class project and we hope to announce details soon! In order to make anything happen, we need you to pay class dues. Venmo them to Malcolm Leverett, class of 2014 treasurer. That’s all for now, but please send updates my way! I really enjoying hearing from you all and sharing the good news!
