2001

Happy spring, ’01s! Anyone remember what you were up to 20 years ago this month? Why celebrating your first Green Key Weekend, of course. Turn that one around in your head for a little while as you read about the activities of your fellow classmates.

We have ’01s doing some great work in government. Dan Pollack currently serves as the deputy commissioner of health for the State of Minnesota and was excited to report that his new boss, Jan Malcolm ’77, is also a Dartmouth alum. Carrie (Hoverman) Colla moved her family from Hanover to Washington, D.C., to work as a Robert Wood Johnson health policy fellow in Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s office. This endeavor would not have been possible without the love, support and babysitting provided by her husband, Geoff’04, and parents, Steve ’71 and Nancy. Speaking of D.C. (in name only), Minh Le signed with DC Comics to write a Green Lantern graphic novel as part of its new middle-grade imprint, DC Zoom. (For anyone who is curious, the DC in DC Comics was derived from Detective Comics, not the District of Columbia.)

As usual, we have ’01s on the move. Kate (Mattern) McGee and her husband, Conner ’02, moved out of New York City to New Canaan, Connecticut, last summer. They are quite grateful to have a bigger home as they ushered their fourth child, Luke, in along with the new year this December 31. He joins big brother Jamie (6) and big sisters Alex (4) and Casey (2). Kate is very excited about the large contingent of Dartmouth alums in the Connecticut suburbs and has become involved in the new Women of Dartmouth of Fairfield County team. Anyone living in the area and interested in getting involved should email the group at women. of.dartmouth.fairfield.county@dartmouth.edu.

In other baby news, Sena Ku Jaret and her husband, Jeff, welcomed another daughter, Raiyu Ku Saret, into the family in December. Big brother Rylan and big sister Isla are completely enamored. Tom Campbell and his wife, Meghan (Holyoke ’01), welcomed their daughter, Ella, to the world in October. Tom lives in Seattle and recently met up with Aiden Marcuss, a friend from freshman trips. Two decades of friendship! Here’s hoping that many of you are keeping up with those firstyear friends!
