Dartmouth President Is Obama’s Pick for World Bank
| March 23, 2012 | Filled under Dartmouth College, Politics |
The announcement that President Barack Obama has nominated Dartmouth College president Dr. Kim to head the World Bank came to us today coordinated with national and international press releases. “The nomination of Dr. Kim, who helped found Partners in Health and directed the World Health Organization’s department of H.I.V./AIDS, would recognize the importance of health issues in global development, elevating them to parity with finance. His work has emphasized bringing effective medicine to the poor.”
While this nomination may be a surprising one, for a physician to head an international financial institution, the choice is stellar in terms of recognizing Dr. Kim’s experience and leadership, and the importance of health and health care in international development.

Waste Reduction
| June 24, 2010 | Filled under Dartmouth College, Libraries/Librarians |
My college is implementing an enhanced recycling plan. All trash cans have been removed from our offices. Many have also been removed from our public areas as well. We are a full service library. We receive a lot of junk mail that needs to be discarded. We have a print station for students and they do not always leave with their printouts.
I wanted to discard a piece of junk mail. After I removed the plastic wrapper I put the paper in one of our old and large paper recycling bins that was hidden and has not been removed….and I’m hoping that we can keep it.
So my next task was to throw out the plastic wrapper. It sort of fit in a small plastic container meant for our real waste. Some of this must be thought out further. What works for an individual office space will quickly spill over in our public areas, even for recyclables.

Every year the ivy that runs up this tree on Tuck Drive turns bright red. When I first saw it I thought students pulled a prank and painted the tree trunk.
