New President for MIT: A redheaded WOMAN is the next President of MIT, as Pres. Vest steps down after 14 years. I have heard great things about Dr. Hockfield, in terms of her getting along well with students and really working on issues of diversity and women. Guess I know who I will be asking to be my featured speaker at my Women's Event this spring. Couldn't be better time for me to be planning an event for women alumnae...a women President of MIT, a women as the Exec VP of the Alumni Association, and a woman as the President of the Alumni Association Board for this year. Girl power!
