🚀 Class of 2025 takes shape
Round 2 decisions are near, and we are wrapping up interviews for Round 3. This summer’s class is shaping up to be another great one!
Huge thanks to all the alumNY reviewers and interviewers who make the selection process possible, and Sakib Jalal (h’16) for his great work as Director of Admission.
❤️ Jamis
We’re saddened to hear the news of the passing of Jamis Johnson (h’14). Jamey was whip smart but down to earth and lovable. He had many interests and communities and the hackNY community will miss him as a member of the alumNY Advancement Committee, organizer of events, connector of people, bright light in the room and all around awesome human.
If you want to talk, there’s a thread on Slack with fellow alumNY who care. Plans are being made for a gathering next month for Jamey’s hackNY friends, more details to come.
