Former Associate Director of Residential Education Kristi Clemens has taken over as acting director of Greek Letter Organizations and Societies, filling the vacancy created by the retirement of former GLOS Director Deborah Carney in June, Associate Dean of the College for Campus Life April Thompson announced in an e-mail to Greek presidents Monday. As acting director of GLOS, Clemens will work with students to improve the relationships between Greek organizations and the Town of Hanover, advocate for physical plants for new sororities and expand local alumni's involvement in Dartmouth's Greek houses, Acting Dean of the College Sylvia Spears said in an interview with The Dartmouth. "I think [Clemens] has a very student-centered approach to her work, and I think it will be really important for her to find out what their needs are what their hopes are rather than to drive an agenda," Spears said. Clemens who came to the College last summer from New York University said she knows that the College's Greek system comprises "a huge part of the Dartmouth experience." She said she met with campus Greek leaders last week including representatives from the Greek Leadership Council, Panhellenic Council, Inter-Fraternity Council, Co-Ed Council and minority Greek houses and that her initial focus as acting director will be to continue conversations with students about their goals for the Greek system. "The College's Greek system is student-initiated and student-led in a way that organizations are not on other campuses," Clemens said.

"We think it creates a tighter relationship," Howard said.
After spending almost two years questioning, criticizing and even bashing U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner '83 for his controversial handling of the country's economy, many national media outlets are recently having a change of heart. On Monday, The New Yorker and The Atlantic both published features on Geithner casting him and his financial tactics in a largely positive light. "From his time as a mid-ranking Treasury Department official, during the nineties, to his presidency of the [New York Federal Reserve Bank], from 2003 to 2008, he worked on resolving a series of financial crises around the world," John Cassidy wrote in The New Yorker.
