Jim Yong Kim, first Asian American president of an Ivy League school

The title really says it all. Jim Yong Kim will become the next president of Dartmouth.

m00g00 thus far, has been a really fun site to run. But when you think about pioneers- news like this is really what we Asians should embrace. The first Asian American president of an Ivy League school...killer stuff.

Yet, no accomplishment ever comes easy, as Kim received racist emails on the initial announcement of his presidency >:O

The man has faced adversity and is stepping up to carry the hopes and dreams of a prestigious school on his shoulders. Kim has been a leader in the fight against HIV/AIDS and other diseases, which I'm sure will make him well qualified not only to run the school, but to inspire and make change in the world today.

President of Darthmouth.

Set a precedent.

Next...the white house!

Changes, That's just the way it is. m00g00.
