Elizabeth Dotsen-Westphalen (GIA '94, GIA Staff (RA and eventually Assistant Director) from '97-'00), writes in with an update and the first seeds of starting an Alum network-- read on and get in touch with her if you're interested:

"Hi. I studied neuroscience at Harvard, but go figure... I am living in NYC now, working for an e-commerce software company and playing trombone and singing jazz. Leading the double life is tough sometimes but also doubly rewarding.
I ran into George Wilson (Arts student 1994-- "Little George" of the infamous Vikings) last night on the subway and it turns out he lives just a few blocks from me. It got me to thinking...
I'd love to get together a real contact list of GIA Folks to provide us with access to the network that already exists. I would love to catch up with former GIA friends who are living in or passing through New York...or Boston...or L.A...or Vermont... and meet new ones.
I haven't lit upon the best way of doing this yet, but this alum update page is a start... if you are reading this and are still in contact with others from your GIA year, email me to help me get this going... elizabeth_dw@hotmail.com"
