Commencement 2006
A number of the History majors from the Class of 2006 responded to a request
for information about their plans for life after Dartmouth. Here is what
they had to say:
Natalie Allan: “This summer I'll be leading hiking
trips in Colorado. In September I will be going to Bangladesh to do
research for the Tucker Foundation about an orphanage it intends to
sponsor. In November, I will move to San Francisco, where I hope to get a
job in the non-profit industry.”
Liz Allen: "I'll be in New York City for the
summer working at Outward Bound in the expeditionary learning centers for urban
students. In the fall, I am getting my Teaching English as a Foreign Language
(TEFL) certification in Seville, Spain, before moving down to Northern
Patagonia in Argentina to teach English. Ultimately, I would like to go on and
get my masters of education and perhaps even go onto education policy after
teaching."
Lindsay Barnes: “A week after graduation I will
assume my duties as a reporter and editor for The Hook, the premier
weekly newspaper in Charlottesville, Virginia. It is there that I hope to begin
a long and productive career in journalism.”
Chelsea Carroll: "In mid-July I will be moving
to Kurihama, Japan. While there I plan to pursue an online master's degree in
library and information studies. Over the next two years, I also plan to teach
English and hopefully learn some Japanese. When I return to the States I plan
on becoming a librarian or corporate information specialist and might pursue
further degrees in history or sociology over time."
Anna Cates: “My next year starts with a month of work
rowing a gear boat for guided fly fishing trips in Montana. Then next
fall I'll be living in Madison, Wisconsin, taking care of my grandmother for a
few months. After that I may be painting sets for the Oregon Shakespeare
Festival in Ashland, OR, or I may be doing something else.”
Laurel Clark: “I'll be joining Teach For America and
teaching 4th grade in the Las Vegas Valley. While there I'll also be
taking graduate school classes at UNLV working towards a Masters in Primary
Ed.”
Margaret Cody: “This summer I'll be starting work at
a marketing and brand strategy consulting firm in New York City. I hope to
pursue a career in advertising or brand strategy, but if I tire of the
corporate world, I may very well end up pursuing graduate degrees in American
Studies or History.”
Thomas Coppock: “I am spending the summer biking from
Denmark to Greece (where I have a job). I will be working for a year at
the American Farm School outside of Thessaloniki teaching English and acting as
a mentor/residential adviser at the high school there. I don't have any
plans after that.”
Nicolas de Zamaroczy: “This summer I will continue my
longstanding quest for the perfect movie popcorn by working as a concessionist
at a cinema in Washington, D.C. I will also take a few weeks off to tour
Corsica, France, and Northern Italy. The fall will find me in London,
beginning a Master's in International Relations at King's College, University
of London.”
Cristina Duncan Evans: “I'll be teaching secondary
school social studies in Baltimore with Teach For America. Long term, I
hope to get a master's in Museum Studies and work in Education in History
Museums.”
Michael Ellis: "I started work in March as an
Associate Director in the White House Office of Strategic Initiatives in
Washington, D.C. I also plan to seek a commission as an intelligence
officer in the U.S. Naval Reserves."
Tracey Fung: “During the month of July, I will be
traveling in Southeast Asia with a fellow Dartmouth student. In August, I
will begin work as a paralegal in the Anti-Trust Division of the U.S.
Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. During that time, I will decide
whether or not to apply to law school or other graduate school programs.”
Matthew Gens: “I will be attending Harvard Law School
in the fall.”
Sarah Givner: “A week after graduation, I'll be
starting a year-long postbac program in medicine at Goucher College in Towson,
Maryland.”
Miriam Glaser: “This summer I'll be traveling with my
sister around Europe. Beginning in September, I will be attending Harvard Law
School. I hope to use my law degree to become a prosecuting attorney, and
sometime in the future my goal is to become a judge.”
Nikhil Gore: “I'll be in the Singapore army for the
next two years and after that law school most probably (in the U.S.).”
Lindsay Hare: “My plans are the following: Summer
travels to Idaho and China, followed by a year with Americorps Vista, working
for the Chicago Rehabilitation Network (a nonprofit dedicated to developing
affordable housing). After that, perhaps a move to China to work in human
rights, perhaps architecture school, perhaps something entirely different!”
Jason Hartwig: “I will be in the U.S. Army as a Tank
Platoon Leader and possibly Scout Platoon Leader in the 3rd Armored Cavalry
Regiment, stationed out of Fort Hood, Texas.”
Paul Heintz: “I'll be making coffee and photocopies
at the News Hour with Jim Lehrer in Washington, D.C.”
Candice Hong: "I will be working as a paralegal
at a law firm right next to the New York Public Library (Lankler Siffert and
Wohl). After that, I plan on applying to law schools."
Peter Hughes: "I will spend the summer in Washington,
D.C., working for a small consulting company and preparing to take the
LSATs. In September I will head to Germany on a Fulbright Fellowship
where I will be getting a Masters in European Integration Studies at the
University of Bonn."

consulting company out of Hartford, Connecticut, that develops continuing care
retirement communities. I've been assigned to two projects, one outside of
Philadelphia and the other near Indianapolis.”
Lance Kramer: “I am going to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia,
over the summer to teach English to children orphaned by the AIDS virus.
When I get back, I am getting hired to drive two canoes from Thetford, Vermont,
to Portland, Oregon; then I am picking up a sailboat in San Diego and hauling
it to New Hampshire. After that, I have no plans.”
Stephen Macekura: “Next year I will be working in
curriculum development for Northern Virginia public schools as part of the
Primary Source Learning program, a project funded by the Library of Congress
that integrates the Library's vast primary source holdings into everyday
classroom instruction. I'll also be applying to graduate programs in
History.”
 Elliott May: “I am the acting general
manager for the 2006 Big Green Bus. We are traveling the country from June 13
to August 27. We are a group of students committed to promoting the use
of alternative energies through education and example. On a school bus
converted to run on used vegetable oil, we will travel around the country
fostering awareness about current global energy issues and creating dialogue
about tangible solutions to those problems. We will target most major
cities in the United States, Environmental Fairs and Conventions, large venue
concerts, summer camps, Dartmouth Alumni Organizations and Ultimate Frisbee
Tournaments in order to reach as large and varied a population as
possible. We will maintain a website (www.thebiggreenbus.org) with photos,
journal updates, an interactive map, and vodcasts to further accessibility to
our project.”

summer in Senator Bayh's office down in D.C. Starting in August I'll be
attending public policy school at the University of Indiana at
Bloomington.”

legal department of a translation company in NYC (Transperfect Translations). I
will hopefully be going to law school in a couple of years.”

department in late June and will be looking into opportunities for graduate
study in the future.”

weeks of officer training in Montgomery, Alabama, I'll be commissioned as a
lieutenant in the United States Air Force, and I'll begin medical school this
August.”
Claudia Rueda: “This summer, I will be working in
Hanover as a research assistant. Then, in August, I'm moving to Austin to begin
the graduate program in history at the University of Texas. I'm really
looking forward to going back to Texas and being close to my family and the
sun!”

working at Morgan Stanley doing Investment Management in New York
City."

working for Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, an international investment bank

department at Google starting in August. I plan to travel over the
summer, and eventually I am hoping to attend business school.”
