94 | Last year, some philosophical musings came courtesy of engineer Matthew Martinez, a program/project manager for MC Dean in Virginia: "If I could do it all over again, I think I would choose to study something I loved without concern to getting a 'good job.' I'd be very curious to know how students who studied anthropology, history, art, music, etc., are doing with their lives. Did they go on to secure jobs in those fields doing what they truly enjoyed doing, regardless of income? Are they enjoying the last laugh?" Big questions, indeed. Humanities majors--care to weigh in?

She says she has no time for extracurricular activities, but is getting to know another new part of the country since she moved to Florida from California last June. From Cornell she remembers a cappella concerts, Collegetown Bagels, crisp walks all over campus in the fall, and the first signs of spring when the Quad fills with people.

99 | Who remembers the great protests and controversies of the Class of '99's years on campus? The contract fight for the service workers? Booting freshmen out of program houses? The burnings of the Cornell Review? So what's up with some of the students who made the campus news?

Cornell Greens alum Chris Larson has done just about all you can do in Northern California at this point, and that's why he's matriculating to Yale in the fall to begin a master's program in both business and forestry.He's finishing up his tenure as executive director of the Mattole Restoration Council, a community organization working to put the fisheries and forests around the Mattole River back. Hopefully, before he heads east, he'll also finish the house he's building on his 73 acres of forestland. United Progessives leader Keisha Hudson, JD '02, has been a public defender in Philadelphia since graduating from Cornell's Law school, but this year she moved on to the Federal Community Defender Office, where she's representing clients on Death Row.

Nat Stern spent most of his time in Ithaca leading the town's reigning dance band, The Dominant 7, but he also slept in Goldwin Smith with the rest of the protesters after Arts and Sciences announced the cancellation of the Latino Studies program.He even wrote a song about it. Nat hasn't been in the US much since he graduated from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, and he recently moved from South Africa to Dublin, where he's working toward a PhD in art. You can find Nat's artwork over the next year in Croatia, Aspen, and quite a few places in between. Benjamin Perry helped the liberal coalition Student United take over Student Government in his sophomore year, and then served as the VP of internal affairs, but now he's a fundraiser for the Nature Conservancy in Conshohocken, PA. After several years serving the business school at Drexel U., he decided to get back to the environmental movement that inspired him to pursue a degree in Natural Resources in the Ag college. Steve Rockwell won his tenure as student-elected trustee with the backing of both the Greek community and Students United. He completed his joint degrees in business and public administration from Harvard and MIT in June, and, meanwhile, helped to found a new nonprofit, the Inst. for Progressive Christianity.

Danielle Ogurcak didn't mix it up with campus politics because she was too busy running track, but she's helping to defend wildlife now. Despite the fact that a crocodile actually bit her and sent her to the emergency room her first day on the job, Danielle is still an active member of the Croc Docs, a project of the U. of Florida's Ft. Lauderdale Research and Education Center. Her main project involves mapping and studying alligator holes around the swamps of Florida. In other words, she crawls into the homes of alligators and counts the plants.Who needs marches and protests? That's real dedication. In her spare time, Danielle likes to go out at night with buddies from the lab and capture escaped pythons. No, seriously. She has pictures.

As a resident of Watermargin, Philipp Meyer was always there when the campus activists gathered at his house to kick back. Since then, he's left both Wall Street and life as an EMT behind to devote his life to fiction writing. It may have meant turning 30 in his parents' basement, but it also turned into publication in McSweeney's, Salon, and the Iowa Review. Now he's working under a fellowship at Austin's Michener Center for Writers and has a place at the prestigious Yaddo Artists Colony waiting for him.Matthew Tierney and Anita Starosta should also be doing some writing. They left California together for Providence, RI, and are pursuing matching PhDs, hers in History of Consciousness (UC Santa Cruz) and his in Modern Culture and Media (Brown).

Sam Goldberg used to be a famous writer. He didn't take part in campus politics, but sometimes made fun of them in his Cornell Daily Sun column, "The Brick." Sam took over as exhibit content developer late last year at the Pacific Science Center. The work has inspired his new hobby: he invents false but plausible-sounding facts, such as, "A herd of elephants is called a 'mumble'" and "During WWI, Oscar Meyer was stationed in Bologna, Italy." David Metzger didn't get involved with too much outside of class in college. How could he? He completed degrees in both Philosophy and Chemistry. That's how he landed his job as the first non-partner employee at Aquilo Partners, a life science investment banking firm in San Francisco.Metzger won a promotion to vice president in the firm. He has also quit playing Ultimate Frisbee after seven years of nearly constant league play, first in D.C. and then California. The two developments are unrelated. -- Brady Russell, bradydale@thistoowillpass.com; Melanie GrayceWest, melanie@melaniegrayce.com; and Jennifer Sheldon, jls33@cornell.com.
