Happy New Year. I hope you had a warm holiday season. Here are some updates from Class of 2021:

Gayon Yang is working as a grade 5 homeroom teacher in Chiang Rai, Thailand. The international school is going through expansion at the moment; please let Gayon know if you are interested in learning more about their employment opportunities. Gayon can be reached by gyang01@wesleyan.edu.

Leah Seldin co-founded The Girls NYC, an exclusive social group for NYC women in their 20s looking to make meaningful friendships. In the past two years, The Girls NYC have amassed 1,400 active members and hosted over 150 events, including private movie screenings, brunches, dinners, book clubs, and more. The events offer a safe, friendly environment where all women attend alone with bravery, vulnerability, and a desire to meet new people.

The Girls NYC have partnered with multiple brands and grown a social media presence of more than 3,400 and consistently receive over 400 applications a month. Through The Girls NYC, lifetime friendships have been created from best friends to roommates.

On November 2, 2024, The Girls NYC was featured on ABC News Nightline. In addition, The Girls NYC was featured in a Bon Appétit magazine article, which can be read here. Congratulations to Leah and the group for their achievements!
