We had a special visitor on January 27th Thursday when Columbia grad school student Justin Clark spent several afternoon hours visiting and interviewing the EEPsters for an orticle he is publishing on higher ed for high school students. Justin is working on his dorctorate in journalism at Columbia and heard of the EEP from one of our alum (Columbia Law).
We heard from a number of EEP Alum this quarter including, but in no particular order, Tina (Mount Sinai Med) and Tony Nguyen J.D. Columbia, from New York, Ryan Montgomery (pictured in pdf version) from NASA re: the Mars Rover he worked on,. Sunny Yoon (MA, UC Berkeley) a writer/researcher living in Brooklyn, G. J. Echternkamp, a professional commercial actor (yes, you've seen him!), Charys Scotton (University of Pennsylvania Law), Sumanta Pal M.D., UCLA who brought news that EEP alum Nandan Lad M.D., PhD was accepted to the neurosurgery residency program at Stanford, Joann Wang J.D. (Georgetown), Adam Witthuhn who is beginning a career in real estate in the Bay Area, Adam Fraser (UCLA Lae/Public Policy) who is on Governor Schwartzeneger's Cabinet, Chris Chien (Chicago Med) on a year-long research adventure in mainland China and Vanessa Sheldon in her second year at the University of Arizona doctoral program in music. We know we missed someone so very soon we will be sending out the first in a long time Alumni Communique to further strenthen our relationships with former EEPster.
Most of these EEP alum have agreed to counsel the current EEPsters regarding careers and graduate school. Info and email addresses available at Group Meetings.
