Dartmouth President James
Wright speaks at the New
England Council’s 2007 “New Englander of the Year” awards dinner on Oct. 1
in Boston after receiving one of three such awards the council presented this
year, for work he is doing to help U.S. military veterans wounded or injured
during service in Iraq and Afghanistan. Wright has been visiting such veterans
in military hospitals since 2005, and has subsequently joined with the American Council on Education (ACE) in
Washington, D.C. to create a higher-education counseling program for
veterans. U.S. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., and Peter Meade, executive
vice president for corporate affairs at Blue Cross Blue Shield of
Massachusetts, also won “New Englander of the Year” awards this year for work
they have done in other fields to help promote higher quality of life for many.
Formed in 1925, the New England Council is an alliance of businesses, academic
and health institutions and public and private organizations throughout New
England working to promote economic growth and a high quality of life in the
New England region. (Photo by Joseph Mehling ’69)
