President Kim admired Jim and Susan Wright's commitment to diversity during their time at Dartmouth.
"Today, we’re honoring the almost unthinkably massive body of work around the issues of diversity and justice of Jim and Susan Wright. It’s quite safe to say that the house that we occupy today, the diverse, multi-racial, beautiful, wonderful house - if anyone has contributed to the building of this house, if anyone has actually built this house, we have to really say that it was Jim Wright over his 40 years, in so many different roles. He was professor of history, dean of the faculty of arts and science, provost, and president. And in those 40 years, Jim made diversity an absolutely top issue.” - Jim Yong Kim
