CLASS OF 2021 | 2024 | SUMMER ISSUE

Hi everyone. Here are some updates from Class of 2021:

Sofia making edibles at work! Here, she is stirring a pot of vegan honeydew gummies.

Sofia Murtaugh wrote: “My post-college life in Honolulu has been filled with sunshine, ultimate Frisbee, cannabis, and good friends! I work in a lab, manufacturing products for medical marijuana dispensary, Noa Botanicals, learning about the growing cannabis industry alongside some of the coolest folks in Hawaii. Outside work I am thriving in the island’s Frisbee scene! I’m a captain of Hawaii’s only club ultimate team, Party Wave, a mixed team that competes in the mainland. I’ve also commissioned a community recreation league, captained a number of league teams with my partner, Mikey Palmer, and started a women’s pickup game that’s been going strong for over a year now. 

“I’ve been lucky enough to have two mini-Wes reunions this year already! Tenley Abbott ’23 came to visit and compete in Hawaii’s biggest ultimate tournament, Kaimana Klassic, in February. In March, my classmates Ana Finnerty-Haggerty and Isabel Algrant came for a special beach-filled reunion!” So exciting to learn about Sofia’s post-college life in Honolulu. Sofia can be reached at smurtaugh@wesleyan.edu if you want to connect with her.

This is the Kaimana Klassic team. Tenley Abbott ’23 and Sofia Murtaugh played in February at Kapiolani Park in Honolulu, pictured in front of Diamond Head, their famous crater! Tenley is fourth from the left in the back row, and Sofia is directly below her.

As for me, I am halfway through law school. This spring semester I am doing direct legal assistance work through the Civil Practice Clinic at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. I am also happy that I attended the Master’s Recital by Hayley Qin ’22 at the New England Conservatory of Music on April 5 and celebrated my friend’s creative endeavors. 

Thank you for reading! Please feel free to send me updates throughout the year and look out for new submission requests.
