R
yan Colameo '07 graduated from Colgate
University in 2007 and accepted his com-
mission as a second lieutenant in the United
States Marine Corps on graduation day. He spent
nearly nine years in the United States Marine
Corps, where he excelled as an AH-1Z pilot,
flight lead, and instructor.
During his last year of service, Ryan began to
explore and expand the capabilities of simulator
technology, culminating in successfully linking
nearly two dozen dissimilar training devices into
a virtual network. This venture included avia-
tion, ground force, and command and control
elements to provide an integrated and realistic
training scenario, leveraging modern technology
to replicate real-life missions.
He published his work in November 2016 in The
Marine Corps Gazette in an article titled "The
Tip of the Live Virtual Constructive Spear: Im-
proving Our Ability to Integrate Simulation."
The article focuses on the opportunities to in-
clude aviation, ground, and command and con-
trol elements into realistic training networks to
better prepare war fighters for future conflict.
Ryan has since left the Marine Corps and is pur-
suing his MBA at the University of Michigan's
Ross School of Business.
Brother Adam Pellegrini '10 is the lead author
on a study published last month in the scientific
journal Ecology Letters entitled "Convergence
of bark investment according to fire and climate
structures ecosystem vulnerability to future
change." The study suggests that bark thickness
may help predict which tree species within vary-
ing ecosystems will survive a warmer climate in
which wildfires are expected to increase in fre-
quency. The study was funded by the National
Science Foundation and the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Association.
Adam graduated from Colgate with a degree
in biology, completed his Ph.D. at Princeton in
2016 and is now a NOAA Climate and Global
Change Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford Univer-
sity. Adam led the study while a graduate student
in Princeton's Department of Ecology and Evo-
lutionary Biology.
Mystic Circle
A brother dead and brothers mourning
Fill the heart with grief today,
And the earnest grasp fraternal;
Speaks, "a dear one passed away."
Yes, no longer we shall greet thee
In the halls of DKE,
Yet thy name in sweet remembrance
Graven on our hearts will be.
We have parted, Brother, parted,
As we trust, to meet again,
In a full unbroken circle,
Free from sorrow, grief and pain.
