When there are updates to report, I report the updates.

While many people traveled home to visit with friends and family during Thanksgiving, some Kellogg alums and spouses flew to Gurgaon, India, to celebrate Nidhi Agarwal's wedding to Sushant Kashyap, including dancing in the bridal sangeet at the engagement party. They had a fantastic time in India and came home with memories for a lifetime.

A small yet mighty crew of '08 alums had a mini-reunion in the city of Chicago over Halloween, followed by another gathering in New York in December. Those in attendance included Yelena Shklovskaya (based in Chicago with her boyfriend Bill), Cari Carpenter from New York, Joe Danon from New York, Mark Ahasic from Boston, Joel Mendel and Tony Arcese, both from Chicago. While at it, they also caught up with Pati Aguilar and Ron Paluck. The goal is to make these "minis" a regular tradition.

After graduating, Jonathan Miller launched ElementBars.com along with two co-founders. ElementBars.com allows users to design their own custom energy bar by selecting from dozens of ingredients. Those who want proven taste and nutrition can customize a "popular bar" that has received the most positive reviews by other users of ElementBars.com.

Marc Luley is back to serving his country in Iraq, this time as a McKinsey consultant in Baghdad.

Joe Dwyer spent six months as CEO of ArtistData, a Chicago tech startup, and then accepted an offer as a senior associate at OCA Ventures, also based in Chicago.
