So Dartmouth has a new President. His name is Dr. Jim Yong Kim. If you don't know anything about him, you should. He's a rockstar in the Global Health arena, founding Partners in Health with Paul Farmer. He's even been profiled in Rolling Stone alongside Madonna.His first day on the job was last Wednesday, July 1st and the College held a huge Welcome event in his honor that afternoon on the Dartmouth Green. Basically, it was awesome. Free ice cream, sorbet, t shirts - just a big party. He spoke a few
words of wisdom, but mostly let the student band Filigar (check them out on iTunes) keep the stage. Here are a few pictures from the event. The first one is me (red shirt) giving our new President a strawberry from the farmers market down the street. Everyone around here treats him a bit like a celebrity so this was really exciting. The other two photos are from around the event.More info on President Kim here.
