Erica DeMichiel married Benjamin Freudman (Brandeis ’16) on Long Island in November. Close friends and classmates Courtney Laermer, Ilana Ladis Abrams, and Bailey Softness stood by her side as members of the bridal party and helped make the day truly unforgettable. Erica is settled in New York City and thriving in the hospitality-tech sector at Canary Technologies, where she was recently promoted to the company’s senior implementation team.

Alexandra Nesson and Marcus Holzberg were married on October 25, 2025. They were lucky to be surrounded by many college friends, including five married Wesleyan couples. The celebration even prompted a spontaneous rendition of the fight song, which Alexandra reports was the best party since the Fountain days.

Alexandra, Marcus, and their Wes friends celebrate their marriage.

Sarah Schechter shared that 2025 was a lovely year for her creative life. She exhibited her artwork in several art shows and included a playful photo of herself and her paintings at the Spring Break Art Fair. She continues to enjoy creating and sharing her paintings, and she also began playing harp in two bands, Virtual Perfection Cowboy and Truffles. Sarah is currently in her fifth year as a high school art teacher and is grateful that her life remains full of art, music, and learning. She hopes to connect with more of the Wesleyan community in 2026 and wishes classmates a happy, healthy new year. Those interested in seeing more of her creative work can find her on Instagram at @kasualbagel.
