Newton City Hall is losing one of its bright young stars.
But the city’s loss is our nation’s gain.
The personable, Newton South graduate (Class of 2013) started working for Fuller’s mayoral campaign five days after his graduation from Columbia University in 2017. He became the mayor’s executive aide when she took office in January 2018. His last day will be next Friday. He will report to Quantico to begin training to become an officer in the U.S. Marines on June 1.
“I’m definitely nervous but I’m pretty thrilled to do it,” Rivkin said in an email. “I have loved serving the city and I’m glad I get to serve the country, too.”
“Noah is capable and kind, conscientious and caring, and an impressive example of a curious and committed citizen Newton South High School helps nurture,” Fuller said Tuesday at the conclusion of her budget presentation to the city council. “Please stop by the mayor’s office from 3-4 p.m. on Friday, April 26 to wish him well.”
Semper Fidelis!
Good luck Noah- we are all rooting for you! I have truly enjoyed getting to know you and will continue to follow your impressive pathway. Please keep in touch- and when you are ready- please come back to Newton.
Thanks for your service Noah — past and future.
Good luck and thank you for your service Noah! It has been such a pleasure getting to know you, you’ve got a bright future ahead of you.
Noah I wish you all the best in this next huge task. No doubt you are up for the challenge. You were always so easy to work with. You will be missed by all.
Congratulations, Noah. You have distinguished yourself at City Hall and you will surely do so in the Corps. Good luck!
We’ll miss him. Noah is a breath of fresh air and a fountain of enthusiasm, energy, and optimism.
We all know him from his work at City Hall but I’m going to miss him wielding giant puppets at the Tour de Newton and telling a fabulous story at the Nomad Story Slam.
Best of luck with your next chapter … and come back and tell us another story or two when you return.
Good luck and thanks for all you’ve done for the city Noah!
Best of luck Noah! It’s been a pleasure working with you. It will be fun to watch your path in life. I expect great things!
Noah, you represented Newton South, your alma mater, with pride and honor. But from now on please call me Bob, not Mr. Jampol!
Best of luck.
So proud of you Noah ! You are an exceptional young man & will no doubt have an honorable & distinguished career in the Marine Corp. Best of luck & stay strong in mind, body & spirit. I’ll miss you.
Semper Fi
Noah. I didn’t know you, but wish I had. Your eager determination to get going now impresses me deeply. You are going south to begin training at the hottest time of the year. That’s real commitment. I, too, was supposed to go to Pensacola for OCS training in June of 1960, but I got them to hold off until late September of that year. Never regretted that decision, but Pensacola and the deep south were still culture shocks and I made a determination then that I would get back to New England as soon as possible. All the best
To echo my colleague Marine Jake: Semper Fidelis Noah!!!! Welcome to the family!!
