Greetings from the Class of 2012!

Please enjoy the following updates from your classmates:

Laura Bliss writes, “In May, I was part of a team of journalists at Bloomberg News named finalists for the Pulitzer Prize in explanatory reporting for a series of stories about global water profiteering by private interests. https://www.pulitzer.org/finalists/staff-bloomberg”

Lennox Byer writes, “I just finished medical training at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) where, over the past 10 years, I completed medical school, residency, and a neurohospitalist fellowship. I am going to continue to live in San Francisco with my partner (also of nearly 10 years), Raul, and our 2.5-year-old corgi, named Tiramisu. I will continue at UCSF where my appointment is assistant professor of neurology. I primarily take care of patients admitted to the hospital with neurologic problems but also pursue some clinical research and health services research related to the care of underserved and LGBTQAI+ peoples.”

Han Hsien Liew writes, “I got a fellowship to be at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton for fall 2024 to finish writing my book on medieval Islamic political thought.”

BJ Lillis writes, “I finished my PhD in Colonial American history this summer and am moving to Worcester, Massachusetts, in September to start a postdoc at the American Antiquarian Society. Looking forward to being back in New England!”

Casey Reed is living in LA with her tiny dog, Frankie, working in sports and entertainment marketing with an emphasis on representing historically underserved audiences. You can check out the highlights from some of her favorite culture-driven efforts here: bit.ly/caseyreed.

            Last winter, Casey was selected to represent Team USA Dodgeball and the Mixed (co-ed) Cloth Team at the first-ever North American and Caribbean Dodgeball Championships, where she won her first gold medal with the national team. In August, recovering from an ACL surgery, she joined the coaching staff with Team USA at the World Dodgeball Federation Championships in Graz, Austria, bringing home four medals across six divisions.

Lucas Turner-Owens writes, “At the start of the year I moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to join the venture capital firm Building Ventures, where I’m investing in start-ups addressing climate change and the built environment. If you’re in Massachusetts/New England give me a shout!”
