Commencement Speaker announced Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, the first elected female president of Africa, will be speaking to the graduating class of 2008 on June 8, 2008. Genevieve Haas, of Dartmouth’s Public Affairs Office, writes, “Johnson-Sirleaf, known as Africa’s “Iron Lady,” is a leading promoter of peace, justice and democratic rule. In November 2005, she was elected President of Liberia and became the first woman to lead an African nation. The Harvard-educated former World Bank economist won the election with an impressive 59.4 percent of the vote.”
