Colin Jackson skiing in Utah

Colin Jackson provided an update to let everyone know he is enjoying life in Park City, Utah, where he is the director of financial planning at Evans & Sutherland Computer Corp., a 3-D graphics systems manufacturer. He was able to squeeze in 40 days of skiing in this past season, including a few epic waist-deep powder days in mid-April. The medical staff at the emergency clinic knows him pretty well now, though, as he suffered a hematoma and a separated shoulder. Be careful out there!

Also enjoying life is Terry Tanguay Steele. Terry lives in Connecticut and recently started teach a master's marketing course at a small college near her. She says it's a blast to teach, and she refers often to her Kotler text!

Chip Hardwick is also teaching, in a way. As reported earlier, Chip now serves as the associate pastor of evangelism and church growth at the North Avenue Presbyterian Church in Atlanta. He writes that this has led him into and through numerous amazing experiences in the past year. Especially noteworthy were his mission trips to Honduras and India, as well as his whirlwind trips on the wedding tour. In addition, Chip has started studies for his third master's degree. He is enrolled at Emory University where he will receive his masters in theology in the summer of 2003.

Speaking of the wedding tour, let me offer belated congratulations to Ghia Griarte and her husband Rod Brewster, who were married in April 2000. Ghia and Rod then moved to Austin in December and were expecting a baby in February. Congratulations on the exciting changes, and please send in photos of all the big events!

In some news from campus, many of you may have received an e-mail note from our esteemed president Luke Parker. Luke contacted me to let me know that the e-mail was returned from almost 125 of our class members due to inaccurate contact information, so I am reprinting parts of his letter here. PLEASE update your contact information with the Kellogg office; it will help us stay in touch. Just call the alumni office or visit the Kellogg alumni page.

On May 7, Dipak Jain was named as Kellogg's next dean effective July 1, following an intensive search both inside and outside the school. Dean Jain was formerly associate dean of academic affairs. He also taught a variety of marketing classes, including strategic marketing research. Details on his selection may be found at www.kellogg.nwu.edu/news/index.htm. Dean Jain will replace Don Jacobs, Kellogg's leader for the past 26 years.

Luke joined a group of alums in paying a tribute to Dean Jacobs. Pulling off one the more successful covert operations in recent Kellogg memory, 28 years of GMA leaders gathered for an extraordinary evening with a surprised dean. Traveling from far and wide, former presidents recounted Kellogg's history, one year at a time. Rad Hastings '77 showed the first versions of the Buzzword (later to emerge as The Merger) and the first Pro Forma, a 40-page guide that has since quintupled in size. Fred Hundt '79 recounted the very first TG, with cold Schlitz beer served in a hallway, initiating one of the most enduring student-led initiatives at Kellogg. Others recounted the impact of the 1981 WSJ article extolling Kellogg, effectively putting the school on the global map.

Recent graduates described a very different time and technology at Kellogg, and outlined efforts made to limit students using their laptops in class to watch the McGuire-Sosa home run race and day trade their student loan funds. It was a nostalgic evening that confirmed the distinctive Kellogg culture and lasting legacy of the dean.

For those of you haven't returned to campus recently, Luke reports lots of change. In addition to the extensions that commenced immediately after our graduation, another new wing (with 50 group-study rooms) has just opened. The school has tripled in size since we graduated. Every student carries a laptop. Some classrooms have wireless connections. There is Thai, sushi and a salad bar at Kafe Kellogg. And there's evidence of the changing economy: first-years are being challenged to find summer internships, and the technology classes are less popular than two years ago. Special K, on the other hand, is still surprisingly fresh and relevant to our experience!

A couple of parting thoughts (from Luke). Personally and professionally, there is more reason than ever today to leverage the increasingly large Kellogg alumni base. We need to work with Dean Jain to better leverage this growing strength. While the Class of 1993 continues to do well on the alumni news front, contributing plenty of interesting entries to Kellogg World (but I can always use more), digital tools allow us to significantly upgrade our connectivity. We can, and should, get more out of our network. One place to start is the Kellogg alumni site. It has a decent directory, but it's only as good as the information that you've inserted. So please update your information and encourage our classmates to do the same.

The Edward Lowe Foundation has named Scott Pemberton director of programs and publishing. Scott joined the foundation in 1999 as publisher of the publishing and information services division.

Parting thoughts (from K-T). Thanks to Luke for representing our class at such a momentous occasion and for filling us all in on the changes. We will all have the chance to see the new and improved campus in just two short years when we celebrate our 10th reunion. Believe it or not, we're almost there. I'll be asking for help with this next spring, but please put it on the calendar now. In the meantime, keep those updates coming, and please note the change of e-mail address above. On a personal note, I am happy to announce that our family has grown again. Jamie and I welcomed Katherine Millner Overbey, into the world on May 27. She joins big sister Juliana (4) and big brother Scott (2), who are both very excited about her arrival!
