2012

Hithere, ’12s. I hope summer is treating everyone well. No need to delay. I know you all have beaches and popsicles to get back to so I’ll get right to the up dates.

Alexi Pappas qualified for the Olympics! She’ll be running on the Greek team and we could not be prouder. Rio won’t even know what hit ’em. If I could insert an applauding emoji, y’all know I would, so just use your imagination.

This never gets old: Wedding bells are ringing. Emilyn Leiva and Ernie Economides are engaged, along with Jake Carlson and Kaitlyn McInnis. But wait there’s more, Ray Li and Maddie Steiner ’ll are also engaged, and so are Georgia Bird and Patrick Cunningham. Not to mention we have a couple weddings to report: Liz Doe (now Liz Doe Stone) married Zach Stone in June and Brandon Floch and Stephanie Picon recently tied the knot, too. Toasts all around to the happy couples.

On the graduate school front, Joan Leslie is starting a program in public policy at Jacksonville University. Alex Tejeda will start a postbaccalaureate program at Georgetown University School of Medicine this fall. Alex Kettering is heading back to Hanover to start medical school at Geisel School of Medicine. Ann Baum will be starting business school this fall.

Additionally, cheers are in order to our newest graduates. Christina Mai is officially a doctor. Daniel Whalen graduated from George Washington University Graduate School of Education and Human Development. Oh and Shawn Abuhoff and Rebecca Lee are a couple of our newest law school graduates. I’m so impressed, team.

Rob Rein and his fiancée, Talia Weiss ’14, are moving to Chicago, where Rob will be attending Chicago Booth Business School. Patricia Nicholls is also on the move as one of the newest members of the Teach for America Denver corps. Wish them luck, everyone.

That’s all for now, ’12s. As always I love hearing from you, so don’t be strangers. Reach out and let me know what’s what at k.crispl2@ gmail.com. Now, as you were (meaning you may now get back to those beach reads...). Stay classy, my friends.
