Class Notes - March/April 2012

At last, the days are getting longer and spring is on the way. This is a season of new beginnings as evident with our latest updates.

Danica Lo took a new job as Senior Online Fashion and Beauty Editor at Glamour magazine. Danica has long been at the cutting edge of fashion. She worked at the New York Post as a fashion columnist between 2004 and 2010, before taking a new role as launch editor of Racked National, the national arm of racked.com, a fashion and retail news site.

Carl Cecere took a step forward in his legal career by joining the Dallas-based appellate law firm Hankinson LLP. The firm has been involved in a range of issues including bankruptcy, constitutional law, whistleblower protections and habeas corpus. Previously, Carl was an Associate in the Supreme Court and Appellate Practice at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld. While there, worked on a range of high profile cases before the Supreme Court including District of Columbia v Heller, which established the scope of protections provided by the Second Amendment. Carl also frequently shares his Supreme Court expertise as a contributor to SCOTUSblog.

Finally, Jason Gracilieri made the news recently with a unique idea. The Milford Daily News describes an innovative startup that Jason founded-his fourth since leaving Dartmouth-that supports artists by helping those interested in art find the prints that bit meet their needs and tastes. Turning Art, a Boston-based company, enables consumers 'try out' a range of carefully selected prints in their homes in much the same way as Netflix does for DVDs. Those wanting to purchase a print can do so through the company, with all monies going directly to the artist.

That's all the news for now. I look forward to sharing more updates with you soon. In the meantime, have a great spring!!
