CLASS OF 2007 | 2024 | SUMMER ISSUE
The Class of ’07 continues our journey! Lauren Ogden had her second kiddo in the fall and took more than two months to name him (in Vermont you get six months). She’s working part time at the local critical-access hospital and long-term care facility doing infection prevention and control. She’s on the board of a local nonprofit that offers teen and young parents the resources and skills they need to raise healthy families. She goes to cheer for Wes whenever she can at Middlebury sporting events.
Himanshu “Heems” Suri is very grateful for his soccer and birding group chat with his Wesleyan family: Sara Kim, Alex Magnin, Jared DiMartini ’09, Josh Stephens, and Andre Sternberg. He released a new album, LAFANDAR, on February 16, and another album, Veena, released on May 31. This year he launched Veena (https://veena.nyc), a magazine and lifestyle brand connecting New York with New Delhi. Three times a year Veena drops new editorial and products across “Sounds, Wears, and Naturals.” Heems also started teaching about music tech and global markets at NYU.
Dawid Wiącek is finally getting around to publishing his book this summer: What My Dog Taught Me: Lessons about Careers, Networking, and Yes, Even Resumes. After a rather lonely year without a dog, he is starting to think about rescuing another pup (but, let’s be honest, the rescuing is mutual/two-way). He is blessed and grateful to visit his 36th country this year, and if the universe allows, he’ll live to 100 and will visit 100 nations. He is currently learning French, polishing his Spanish, and perfecting his Polish, and avoiding Mandarin yet again. He gave up refined sugar for Lent and it was the single best health decision he’s ever made (ask him about it). Dawid is excited for the Summer Olympics! If anyone reading this wants to meet up in person (Zoom is so last year!) in the NYC area, whether to watch the Olympics or just catch up, please hit him up.
