Hello, Class of 2007—I can’t believe we are already in 2025. A new year brings exciting news all around. I ran the New York City Marathon in November, which was an amazing experience. I also started a new job and now run the tax legal group at Ameriprise Financial. My co-class notes editor, Megan Harrington, reports that there was a mini-Wes reunion at the Indianapolis marathon in November. She was able to run a few miles with Allison Torpey and celebrated afterward with former track teammates Brittany Morse ’08 and Steph O’Brien ’08.

In the spirit of Wes classmates getting together, Deirdre Salsich stays in touch with Acacia Stevens Marinello, Johanna Goetzel, her sister, Mairead Salsich Viegas ’04, Felicia Appenteng, Jennifer Timm (Latin American studies majors represent), and loves hearing from Estrella Lopez and Eugene Dayanghirang. She is delighted as all get out that women’s crew earned the silver (!) medal at NCAAs in 2024 and is so proud of the athletes and Coach Pat Tynan. She mentors Wes students whenever she can, especially scholarship/financial-aid recipients but will talk to anyone who would like help with navigating career search/exploration. Career coaching has been one of the best investments, personally, over the years. She still misses Professor Ann Wightman; may she rest in power and peace.

Whitney Matthews recently switched jobs and is now the deputy inspector general/director of investigations at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Meanwhile, Eric Altneu had his second kid, Miles, this summer, and Simon Au has started to believe in the power of karma as seen through the tireless antics of his four-year-old son.
