A bit of national/local news…President Obama has just announced his choice to head the World Bank: Dartmouth President Dr. Jim Yong Kim who was born in South Korea but raised in Iowa and was a co-founder of the Partners in Health organization, among many, many other accomplishments. The Upper Valley has quite a few notable citizens in our midst, some who work quietly among us yet make contributions on the national and international stage. You just never know!
It has come to our attention, through a Woodstock Early Bird, that an article by a Harvard professor in Forbes Magazine indicates the Kim may not be the best choice to head the World Bank in the context of other nation’s nominees. Food for thought:
