T-100 DAYS UNTIL REUNIONS!!!


Hi Great Class of 08,

It’s officially 100 days until reunions begins on May 30!  Get psyched.  We have 612 people registered early....and we only need 40 more to beat 2007!  That means you should register if you haven’t, or get other classmates to register through our class website princeton08.com.  We’ve already heard people from other classes tell us that they’re jealous of our Gr08 Gatsby theme.

 The reunions team is still in the planning process, so we’d love any input you have.  Please email reunions@princeton08.com with any suggestions about reasonable booze, food, and entertainment options that you think we should consider.  The publicity team also is getting geared up, so let us know if you have any cool stories or photos you’d like to share on our facebook page, twitter or blog.

Keep in touch on social media and online.

 If you’re still looking for a hotel, check out the following link for the hotels that are connected with the reunions shuttle. There should still be some availability at the Homewood Suites and Holiday Inn, but hotels are almost booked so make your reservation soon if you haven’t already.

Of Artists and Entrepreneurs

KELECHI EZIE is in NYC pursuing her acting career. Her original short film The Truth About Beauty and Blogs that she wrote, co-produced, and starred in has been screened at several film festivals, most notably Ebertfest 2012. She just completed her dream role as Celie in The Color Purple at White Plains Performing Arts Center. She happily runs into other artistic Tigers in NYC on a regular basis, (Spencer Case '09, Bridget Durkin '07) even as an acting coach (Grace Zandarski '84)! www.kelechiezie.com

JIREH LI moved from NY to Beijing one year ago and has been “enjoying the land of dragons and dumplings”.  In addition to working full-time in Finance, Jireh set up www.BodyChromatics.com as her passion.  Her company helps people achieve total health through the Gyrotonic movement system, which provides a solution to chronic back/spinal problems and improves performance for golfers, dancers, athletes. Jireh is a Certified Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis instructor (see photo for Jireh doing an example exercise). Jireh said she is “still dancing tango, of course”.

DAN-MENG CHEN recently finished her first semester at Harvard Business School.  She said, “While it was a tremendously enjoyable experience working for the central bank of Singapore and traveling all over Asia for international meetings over the last few years, it is great to be back in the United States. There is never a dull day at school where one can interact with more than 900 other classmates and hear about their diverse experiences.”
