During first week, Kim meets students, faculty

College President Jim Yong Kim has spent his first week in office touring laboratories, meeting with faculty and staff and even playing golf with undergraduates giving himself "a demanding schedule," Barry Scherr, College provost and the leader of Kim's transition team, said in an interview with The Dartmouth. Since Kim had no previous association with Dartmouth before becoming president, taking the time to gain familiarity with the College is a critical first step, many students interviewed by The Dartmouth agreed. "It's very easy to rush right into something without first getting an overall picture," Tyler Brace '11, summer president of the Inter-Fraternity Council, said.
