2008 Association of Alumni Candidates

Kaitlin Jaxheimer ‘05
Candidate for Executive Committee

Biography
Living in New York City, Kaitlin works for Weber Shandwick, a global public relations firm, specializing in strategic corporate media relations.

As an undergraduate, she was Vice President of Tri Delt, a member of Cobra, and worked as an Undergraduate Advisor, Collis Manager and Dartmouth College Fund intern. After graduating as an English and Economics major in 2005, she has remained engaged as the 2005 Executive Committee Treasurer and an alumni interviewer.

Statement
It’s disappointing that the collegial atmosphere that fostered our undergraduate experiences is not characteristic of our alumni community. A divided community now greets new graduates baiting them to disavow the undying loyalty they seek to cherish. They join not a united community devoted to service, but one that is compromising the reputation of the institution of which they are so proud.

As the most junior member of the slate with my Dartmouth undergraduate experience shaped by relationships with the most talented athletes, scholars, Greek leaders, professors and administrators fresh in mind, I pledge to provide the untainted perspective needed to unite our community around the understanding that Dartmouth continues and will continue to provide an unparalleled experience for all who enroll.

We are compelled to provide our wisdom and experience in our service to the College and must do so constructively. I assure you of my commitment to represent our alumni family and ensure our participation in the College’s future of continued excellence.

I adopt the statement of John Mathias and urge election of our entire slate.
