And One More

Dartmouth President Jim Yong Kim announcing Harry Sheehy as the college's new director of athletics:

For the first 200 years of the history of Dartmouth College, when there was an athletic director the athletic director reported to the president. Also, many of our peer institutions the athletic director reports to the president. In restoring a traditional relationship ... our new athletic director will now report primarily to me as president and will also report to (acting Dean of the College Sylvia Spears). ... It signals my own sense of how important recreation and physical activity is for every single student on our campus.

Green Alert Take: Do not underestimate the value of a direct pipeline from the AD to a president who closely follows athletics and understands the importance of winning. To quote someone whose opinion I respect, "This is huge."
