01 | Happy summer, Class of 2001! It was really good to see everyone at Reunion. Thanks to all who came. Stay tuned to these pages for a full Reunion Report in the Sept/Oct issue.

Congratulations to Chris Anker, who married Alison Louie on April 23, 2005 at Sage Chapel. Cornellians in the wedding party included Koji Park, Jen Chu, and Charlotte Manning. Other Cornellians celebrating in the event included Tim Eng,Matt Sarli, Peter Hon, Steve Rocco, Dan Hecht, Karen Chastain, Kristina Carlson, Dina Agrapides, Chris Libby, Carolyn Louie '80, and Jerry Concannon '73, ME '75. For their honeymoon, the happy couple spent a month touring national parks in California, Arizona, Utah, and Wyoming. Chris is doing his intern year at Upstate Medical U., where he graduated last year. The couple moved to Utah this past spring, and Chris is doing his radiation oncology residency.

Chris was also happy to report that Karen Chastain married Ben Hughes, a native Australian. The couple left their jobs at Merck and traveled for two months across the US. They then spent four months in South America, followed by a couple of months in Europe and Africa. They will end their year-long honeymoon in Australia, where they will be making their new home. Arthur Okere checked in from Boston, MA, where he is just starting his fourth year of medical school at Boston U. School of Medicine. He is set to graduate in May 2007 and plans on applying to internal medicine residency programs in the Northeast, eventually to start a career in cardiology in the future. Arthur and his longtime girlfriend, Anna Berent '02, just bought a car together. Anna recently graduated from Northeastern U. School of Law, and started working as a prosecutor at the Middlesex DA's office in Massachusetts.

In Rochester, NY, Carrie Andrews is a labor relations specialist for New York State United Teachers. She has also been working as the Monroe County Legislator for the 21st Legislative District and running a campaign for Monroe County Legislature—with a successful primary and general election win. Kathryn Prybylski finally moved away from Ithaca. She'd been working as a civil engineer for the Town of Ithaca since graduation and started in late January with a small environmental engineering firm south of Boston. She's excited to have moved to Boston and was happy to return to Ithaca for Reunion. Her last day at work in Ithaca was in early December, followed by an extended drive south to Mississippi to her parents' house while visiting friends and family along the way.

Congratulations to Eric Gillman, who graduated from the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia U. with a Master of International Affairs in February 2005. Thereafter, he moved to Washington, DC, to start a JD program in August 2005 at the Washington College of Law at American U. His next goal is to work as an international trade lawyer. Linda Lee lets us know that she's working as a senior merchandiser for menswear brands at Liz Claiborne in New York City. However, Linda would rather be back at Cornell right now.

From out West, Brooke Hafets checks in from Park City, UT, where she's an outreach manager for the National Ability Center, a non-profit organization that provides outdoor recreation for people with disabilities. Recently, she has been learning how to fly-fish. She went to Alaska last summer for a fishing and hiking trip.Talia Ben-Jacob, MS '03, finished her third year of medical school at the U. of Vermont College of Medicine and is really enjoying her clerkship year. In March 2005, she was elected the New England representative to the American College of Physicians (ACP) Council of Student Members. One of the perks to the position is that she gets to work with one of her good friends from Cornell, Kerry Donegan '02, who is the current chair of the council.

Do you have any news for your classmates? Let us know so we can write about it! E-mail us at classof2001@cornell.edu. Have a great summer! -- Lauren Wallach, LEW15@cornell.edu; and Trina Lee, TKL6@cornell.edu.

02 | Baseball season has begun.We'll see if by the time this is published the Mets have sustained their improbable standing. I graduate from Columbia with my master's in industrial-organizational psychology in two weeks and then it's time for some R & R (aka lots of baseball).While it is exciting to graduate, it doesn't come close to that feeling from four years ago . . . and I expect nothing will. Speaking of reminiscing, now might be a good time to tell you all to mark you calendars for June 7-10, 2007 for our 5th Reunion in Ithaca. Start requesting those vacation days now!

Natalie Whelan wrote to tell me about Max King, who recently finished third in the USA Cross Country Championships to earn a spot on the team for the World Cross Country Championships! "He is an old teammate of mine from Cornell track and cross country.While at Cornell,Max served as captain of the team, was twice a heptagonal (Ivy League) champion, and earned All-America honors in the steeplechase," wrote Natalie. (On a related note, this past weekend, Cornell men's and women's track continued their success as both teams won the Heptagonal Championships, the ninth straight track title for the women and the sixth winning title out of the past seven championships for the men!) For anyone wishing to extend congratulations,Max is at mking@bendres.com.

Leah Dozier is living in Zambia, volunteering her time for Grassroots to educate children about AIDS/HIV through the game of soccer. Daniel Jenhsia Chiao is a software engineer for Riya.com in Redwood City, CA. He is living in nearby Chino Hills. Abeezer Tapia works for AMD (Advanced Micro Devices Processors) and is partly responsible for setting up connections between Cornell and the company. Recently, Abeezer was on the Hill with AMD's CEO for "AMD Day" at the Engineering college. The Cornell Chronicle posted a picture of a ribbon-cutting and a short caption about how the company donated servers to the school.

Plenty of you are back in school. Elizabeth Macaulay Lewis writes, "I'm currently in my second year of my PhD at Oxford U. in classical archaeology. I've been doing lots of yoga and learning how to ski. I got married in May 2005 to the English artist George Lewis. Sarah Holton and Lizzie Andrews were bridesmaids."Christopher Yopp is a graduate student at UC Berkeley, as well as a tutor. He also enjoys snowboarding, ultimate Frisbee, and hiking. "I am loving Berkeley and San Fran,"Christopher writes, though he'd admittedly prefer to be traveling through the wilds of Central Africa.Mostly, Christopher remembers the beauty and splendor of the many gorges and Buttermilk Falls. He'd like to hear from Grischa Metlay and Wyatt Hartman '01.

Some of you are on your way out of school. Julie Katz writes, "This is my first contribution to the alumni pages, so here goes! I'm graduating from the U. of Pennsylvania School of Medicine this spring." Julie starts a pathology residency at Johns Hopkins on July 1."Med school has kept me busy!" Anna Berent writes, "Right now I'm living in Boston, MA, recently graduated from Northeastern U. School of Law, and passed the Massachusetts and New York Bars. I just started working as a prosecutor at the Middlesex D.A.'s office in Massachusetts. I have been dating my boyfriend, Arthur Okere '01, since my junior year at Cornell, and we just bought a car together! Arthur is just starting his fourth year of medical school at Boston U. School of Medicine." Bethanie Ricketts graduated from Case Western Reserve U. School of Law in May 2005 and now works for Reminger & Reminger in Cleveland, focusing on probate/trust litigation, medical malpractice, and professional liability.

It's certainly wedding season! Jen Gruner, MS '04, married Adam Schoenfeld on April 2 in Woodbury, NY. Cornellians in the wedding party were Jason Freedman, Matthew Grant, David Oliwenstein '05, Kristal Maner, PhD candidate for '07, and Meryl Lubran, MS '04. Adam will begin his residency in internal medicine at Yale this summer. Shari Sheflin married her medical school sweetheart, Fillip Findling, on February 25, 2006 in Bethpage, NY. Shara Freeman, Sarah Keim, Karen Moravec Trout, and Brendan Feheley were there to wish them well!

Nicole Rubinstein '01 and Angela Hemauer were in the wedding party.

03 | Reunion is only two years away! So to get the Class of 2003 into the reunion spirit and make sure that we are all staying in touch, your fellow class officers and I have put together a few useful tools that I hope you will all sign up for! First of all, we now have groups on thefacebook.com and friendster.com called Cornell Class of 2003. Definitely join at least one; ideally, join both! Another way that we're looking to keep all of us connected is with our new Yahoo! group. Just go to groups.yahoo.com/group/CUclass_2003 and click on "Join This Group!" If you have any problems with finding the groups or joining, feel free to e-mail me. And, as always, if you have suggestions for your class officers on ways that we can keep everyone connected—or if you'd like to get involved with reunion planning— just drop one of us an e-mail.

Now to the updates that you're all eagerly reading this column for! Jedd Narsavage writes, "I am still happily living in Bethesda,MD, with my fiancée Sadie Thorpe '04. I design and develop large commercial properties as a landscape architect for Bohler Engineering in Sterling, VA, while Sadie is slowly going insane as a first-year law student in Washington, DC."Not too far away,Meredith Nagin is a research analyst in Arlington,VA.

Adrienne is training for her first triathlon and ran the NYC Marathon last fall! "I've been doing lots of traveling to places like the Caribbean and San Diego." I bet Adrienne is getting much more sun than we are here in Seattle. Rachel Gordon misses the Cornell days of eating Mama T's and CTB 24/7, but she continues to stay in touch with her fellow SDT sisters Rebecca Harris, BFA '04, Emily Orfinger, Stephanie Moore, and Kristen Jones through their New York City book club.

05 | Jeff Massa's business card is plain.With black and grey printing adorning an off-white stock, it could be considered boring. Jeff 's job, however, is anything but.While most of us are dreaming of making our first few million, Jeff is moving it. Daily. "At any given time I'm dealing with millions of securities," he said. "At first it was really intimidating. I had a ton of responsibility thrown at me right away, along with high expectations. Every detail is extremely important, so it can create a high-tension environment."As an analyst for Goldman Sachs, Jeff is at the office by six, and often isn't done dealing with clients until after the sun sets. Sometimes it's working out deals. Other times it's entertaining clients on the town. Still, he says he loves it. "I'm always on my toes and there's always something going on. Each day flies by because it's so intense and dynamic."

His day starts by getting a feel for the Asian and European markets, then catching up on the domestic news to get a grasp on how the markets might react. He primarily deals with credit products, and though he could be mistaken for Cool Hand Luke now, it wasn't always like that. "It's a really big deal once you can start executing trades," he said. "You have to pass a test, get a license, learn the ropes, and then once you're at the firm 90 days you can start executing. There's a lot of preparation and anticipation that goes into that first time."And while he credits his initial successes to hard work and preparation, he credits his job satisfaction and enjoyment to his co-workers. "The people I work with are all really cool. They're intelligent, down to earth, and fun people to work with. Just being exposed to a great group of people has been really rewarding— it's one of the best things about being at Goldman." Jeff is taking his first vacation soon, traveling to Germany for the World Cup with Matt Crumrine '04.

Judging from her after-hour activity of hitting the beach, it would seem that MeganMaraynes is already on vacation. In reality, she's far from it, instead attending classes at St. George's School of Medicine in Grenada,West Indies.When not in class (or on the beach), she's out volunteering at health fairs on the island as a member of the American Medical Student Association (AMSA). And while she loves sporting tank tops and shorts year-round in the Caribbean, sometimes Megan joneses for Ithaca. "Part of me misses bundling up in my long underwear, two pairs of socks, and hiking boots to go to class," she writes.

Karla Jones has taken a break from studying to check in as well. She's pursuing a master's in public policy at Georgetown and working part-time at the US Dept. of Labor. She's currently serving as a research assistant in the international labor bureau.When not in class or at work, Karla uses her spare time to meet up with Cornell classmates and attend dance classes. She also writes that there's nothing else she'd rather be doing right now: "I love my grad program, and I love living in D.C."

Jumping from our nation's capital to China's, I'd like to take a self-indulgent moment and report that I'm currently in Beijing through the U. of Minnesota's law school summer program. Besides earning six credits in comparative property use, business entities, and Chinese economic policy, I've also been able to see the sights. So far I've visited the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the 2008 Olympic planning office. For those of you who are envious (and in law school yourself), next summer's program is also open to students from other universities, with more details on Minnesota's website. -- Matthew Janiga, mwj3@cornell.edu; and Michelle Wong, michelle.r. wong@gmail.com.

06 | Now that exams, Senior Week, and graduation are behind us, we are no longer just Cornellians.We are Cornell alumni. A subtle distinction perhaps, but an important one. It means we have our degrees! And with those degrees, we are already starting to do great things.

Some of us are taking that next step in life right in Ithaca. Meredith Howell is sticking around to complete her master's in Public Administration at the Cornell Inst. for Public Affairs.When she finishes, she plans to return to Atlanta, GA, to pursue a career in city planning and community development. Jack Cognetta is staying local as well, to pursue a master's in broadcast journalism at Syracuse U.'s Newhouse School.

Leaving Ithaca and Upstate New York right after graduation was too sad for some of us, but not for all of us! Jenny Meil is leaving the chilly Ithaca winters behind and heading straight to Miami, where she will be working with the Miami Design Preservation League and soaking up the sunshine. Jon Bellante is joining the SCJohnson team in Bentonville, AR, where he will be working on a sales rotation selling to Wal-Mart. Kate-Lynn Timmermans is working for PricewaterhouseCoopers doing auditing for the entertainment and media industry. And Blake Sachs left Ithaca for a European vacation! When the vacation is over, she has a job lined up as assistant manager for the Ritz-Carlton Chicago, a Four Seasons Hotel.

Now that we are officially Cornell alumni, we have a few things to take care of. So please take a moment to . . .
