Khan tied for first place out of 30 of Hollywood’s best-known Oscar experts from major media outlets, including Entertainment Weekly, Fandango, Rolling Stone, USA Today and Vanity Fair.

We had a very successful 20th reunion planned by a great committee and are looking for volunteers again. If you would like to help plan the 25th Reunion, please contact Mark Denzler at mdenzler@ima-net.org.
Marie Tarbell Zahorick ’93 finished her Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing in 2015 and is attending Purdue University-Northwest graduate school for her Family Nurse Practitioner Master’s degree.
