The Class of 2008 has started 2025 in an exciting way! Johnathan Thayer has been awarded tenure and promoted to Associate Professor at Queens College, CUNY, where he teaches classes in archival studies and public history. He is the author of Citizenship, Subversion, and Surveillance in U.S. Ports: Sailors Ashore (Palgrave Macmillan, 2023) and co-editor of Negotiating Masculinities and Modernity in the Maritime World, 1815–1940 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021).

Matt Haywood writes, “Thought it would be fun to mention that I met Chloe Jeng ’15 while playing pickleball in D.C. I was wearing some Wesleyan joggers and she recognized the logo. We’ve since gone on to play in a league together and wound up winning the whole thing!” He submitted a photo as well and notes that the “third woman pictured is Marissa Daftary. [She] and Chloe met through mutual friends Emily Garvin ’15 and Jasmine Masand ’15.”

Lauren Goldman was married to David Cooper in November 2024 and also admitted to the New York Bar that same month. She says, “I am currently working as an eviction defense lawyer in the Bronx.”

Maya Bass is the program director for a brand-new family medicine residency program at Cooper University Hospital in Camden, New Jersey. This program will create 10 new family docs each year. Building it has included opening up two new family medicine offices in downtown Camden. She writes, “2025 is a big year as I will be graduating my first class! Our mission is to foster the growth of compassionate, innovative, and highly skilled family physicians. We strive to provide inclusive and evidence-based medical care, with an emphasis on empowering our community through health and education.”
