Alex Bernadotte was a featured speaker at the Dartmouth Entrepreneurs Forum in September. Alex is the award-winning founder and CEO of Beyond 12, a highly recognized organization that increases the number of low-income, first-generation, and historically underrepresented students who graduate from college. The virtual event was sponsored by the Magnuson Center of Entrepreneurship at Dartmouth (magnuson.dartmouth.edu), which serves as a hub, aggregating resources, advice, and networking opportunities for Dartmouth community members involved in innovation, entrepreneurship, orventure capital. It’s moving this year into a new building on the west end of campus.

The always inspirational Jesse Bradley appeared on Good Morning America’s “Faith Friday” segment in July (you can find the link in our Facebook group). He said, “It was a joy to share about Dartmouth, the close relationships formed and the character shaping that happened through the men’s soccer team.” A few of Jesse’s words of wisdom from the interview: “We really need each other. We need each other so much. Let’s step up together. If someone’s hurting, simply be there for them. Listen.” He added: “We started a new site during the pandemic to spread hope with all free resources: jessebradley.org.”

James Osborne lost his mother in 2008 to cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts andleukoencephalopathy(CADASIL), a rare, degenerative, and fatal genetic disease that affects blood vessels in the brain. His efforts to help find a cure were recently featured in a University of Washington Medicine publication. With the support of close friends, including L. Nicholas Brosnahan. he launched the CADASIL Eradication Project to support cutting-edge genomic research to tackle rare diseases. James, the narrative technical director for 343 Industries (makers of Halo), said, “I realized that my real opportunity in the advocacy space was to go big on funding hardscience research aimed at understanding—at a genetic level—how this particular monogenetic disease operates.” To find out more, visit notch3. org. James and his wife, Kathy (Winant) Osborne, live in Kirkland, Washington.

Good news from Chitra Narasimhan: “I have been honored to serve as the ’92 Alumni Council representative. This year I have been the vice-chair ofthe lifelong learning committee and we created a go-to guide of educational resources available to alumni, sent out in September. I am happy to share that I was elected as the next president of the Alumni Council (currently serving as the president-elect) and will begin my term in June 2022.
