A NOBEL CELEBRATION:
Gary Yohe, the Woodhouse/Sysco Professor of Economics, was honored by
President Michael Roth during a reception in the President's House Nov.
28 for being a co-recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. |

Yohe is a senior member and coordinating
lead author on the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change. The panel is supported by the United Nations. The The Norwegian
Nobel Committee cited the IPCC for its "efforts to build up and
disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay
the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such
change." |

Several Wesleyan faculty and staff members
attended the reception to congratulate Yohe on his achievement. Former
Wesleyan President Doug Bennet, left, and Stephen Angle, chair of the
Philosophy Department and associate professor of philosophy, East Asian
Studies, were among the guests. |
