Dartmouth Prez Respectfully Evokes Memory of Michael Jackson Through Medium of Dance

Dartmouth President Jim Yong Kim: AIDS-fighter, MacArthur Fellow, Asian… MJ impersonator. As part of some strange American Idol-style Dartmouth talent show (how you all survive Hanover escapes me…), here’s Prez Kim–leather-jacket, white glove, and raw sensuality clad–shimmying to the best of the late King of Pop:

A man of the people indeed. Serious Fame Caucus points your way Kimmy.

    I don’t understand why there is the perception that it is “so hard to survive Hanover.”

    It’s really not that bad at all, and statistically speaking, the chances of survival are a lot better here than New Haven where some freshmen dorms hear gun shots and police sirens somewhat frequently.

    yeah, H11, Harvard faculty and students never do things like dress up and dance as Michael jackson. They dress up as women and parade through the streets (see, e.g., Hasty Pudding). How about instead of claiming Dr. Kim has lost his dignity, Harvard should be proud that one of their own has become such an instantly popular and still dedicated Ivy League President?

    Leave it to a Harvard kid to think that a scholar interacting with undergrads constitutes a loss of dignity. Dang, that place must be cold-hearted.

    As for surviving Hanover, being surrounded by natural beauty and not being murdered helps.

    This is unbelievably awesome. That spin move at 3:07? Dr. Kim is easily the sweetest of the Ivy League presidents.
