Please provide a tweet-sized synopsis of your life after Cornell:
A bit of wandering. Worked in publishing/design/art/editing. Returning to Ithaca after 11 years in New Zealand. 2 children, a full life.

In what year did you last set foot on the Ithaca campus, and what was the purpose of your visit?
2014. Many changes. Will be returning (from New Zealand) to live in Ithaca in a few weeks.

Share any random or surprising encounters with Cornell or Cornellians since you left.
Reunited with an old friend after 25 years in a barn in Lansing when we coincidentally signed our children up to the same riding lesson.

What advice would you give to a member of the Class of 2018?
A Cornell University education opens doors, so stick it out and get through it.

What are you looking forward to at our 35th reunion in June, 2015?
Seeing old friends from Sperry Hall.
