It’s official: We’re alumni! Hard to believe, since we’re actually writing this between last-minute paper, exam, and let’s not forget Slope Day preparations, but by the time you read it, all that will be over-at least for some of us. Need a place to stay for Homecoming? Loads of classmates are postponing real life to stay on the Hill for a little longer: David Leahy is working for a master’s in teaching, Erica Siegel and Kerry Klein are going for master’s degrees in public affairs, and Lisa Garroway is “mastering” engineering. Only an hour away, Heather Dorsey is completing a dietetic internship with the Marriott in Syracuse.
Beantown-bound Marci Levine will be starting Harvard dental school any minute, while Todd Builione will be gearing up for his first year at Harvard law school. Hillary Baron is after a master’s in anatomy and physiology at Boston U.
In the Army now: Albert Pizzica was commissioned as an ensign in the US Navy and assigned to the Nuclear Propulsion Program, while Christie Kaefer is entering the medical specialist corps as a dietitian in Washington, DC. A small army of classmates is taking the nation’s capital by storm this year: Kar Po Ng is plowing through the papers in her first year at Georgetown law school, Alexandra “Alexy” Yoffie is lobbying for the National Council of Jewish Women, Joy Guidi is consulting at Ernst and Young, and Amanda Ripley is writing away for the Washington Monthly.
While some of us are sitting around watching “Geraldo” reruns, Shawn Berkowitz is running around with a rowdy bunch of Boy Scouts, directing a high adventure program full of kayaking, rock climbing, mountain biking … and we thought writing cover letters required major effort! Also roughing it: Before starting work as a sales manager with Bristol Hotels in Atlanta, Gregory Juceam is backpacking through Europe. Maybe he’ll run into Susanna Klein, Christina Dziedzic, Danielle Hecht, Erin Hovanec, Rachel Huang, Suzanne Weidberg, or maybe Mike Osipoff and crew, all doing their own “if it’s Tuesday, it must be Vienna” tours. Rachel will be starting work this fall as a chemical engineer for Procter & Gamble in Cincinnati.
We have dues but no news from Jill Borsuk, Jeannette Brady, Amy Broderick, Michael Drake, Mark Dubovy, Lynda Duna, Brian Fishman, Daniel Gelb, Joshua Grapski, Sonya Hand, Kevin Hardy, Dana Lipton, Christopher Reed, Meredith Resnick, Stacy Rosenberg, Vincent Salerno, and Stephanie Wolf. Come on: isn’t there anything you can tell us? Don’t see your name here? Could be because you didn’t tell us anything specific (we need to know all the gory details), you didn’t tell us anything at all, or you didn’t pay your dues (horror of horrors). So tell us about your creative ways to disguise pasta, your tricks for getting free lunch, or your life on your parents’ couch. Better yet, give us the details of your partici pation in the International Spirit of Zinck’s Night (October 17). We won’t say write soon, but you’d better.
