2025

I hope by the time you all are reading this, you’ve had at least a few sunny days in the leadup to the start of summer! I can’t complain about the weather in Singapore, but those up to their noses in snow deserve every minute of sun creeping back. Speaking of snow, congratulations to Jasmine Drolet and John Steel Hagenbuch for representing our class at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympic Games!

For this Class Note, we’re spotlighting a few ’25s who have started writing or storytelling projects since graduation. Ulla-Britt Libre lives in Mammoth Lakes, California, and has been working as a local journalist, nanny, and barista. Ulla’s Substack (@freelancewarrior) consists of stories from Dartmouth and postgrad life (“This was the worst day ever” really encapsulates the Hanover graduation-day energy). In her free time, she also enjoys skiing and playing in the Eastern Sierra.

Eliza Dunn moved to the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago of volcanic islands just off the coast of northwestern Africa. She exclaimed, “Living and teaching on Gran Canaria has been incredible—but it does feel very far away from my Dartmouth friends and community.” As a way to stay in touch, she decided to start exchanging radio postcards with friends—short, spontaneous audio recordings from all over the world. Eliza said she “created a Substack page to collect these radio postcards and share them with my friends and family. Listening to my friends’ stories in their own voices has been such a special way to hear about their postgrad lives—and it makes everyone feel just a little bit closer.”

Don’t forget to send your graduate school announcements, random things that remind you of Hanover, or any connections with your classmates to me at prescott.herzog@gmail.com to be featured in the next edition of Class Notes!
