Ava Eisendrath launched the fashion brand Ironwire. Ava writes: “Ironwire is a new unisex ready-to-wear label. We launched the brand both online and with a pop-up at 303 Broome St. The collection is made up of mostly pieces that I make myself in my art studio. Additionally, there are a couple pieces that are small-batch-manufactured in the Garment District.”

Sriram Krishnan writes: “I was on Jeopardy! during its Champions’ Wildcard event from Jan. 16 to 20, 2024, for episodes that aired Feb. 12 and 16, 2024. I was on the show back in 2022 and it was a thrill to come back and see how one of my favorite TV shows was made. In addition to being on the show itself, it was a particular thrill to be able to spend time with other contestants on my shoot schedule, including fellow Brunonian Matt Harvey ’97, ’10 MPP, whom I had not met previously. Of course I had my pom poms out for Justin Bolsen ’26 in this year’s Tournament of Champions.” Contact Sriram at [email protected].
