He has worked for more than 22 countries, including Mexico, the Philippines, Russia, Iraq, Greece and Argentina. Lee has been present at all the major debt crises of the past three decades. According to the Guardian, “his reputation among investors is as a fearsome and aggressive litigator, but finance ministers in distress see him as something of a fairy godmother.” Lee has also held adjunct teaching posts at Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Duke, London and Edinburgh. 9:30 to 10:15 a.m.: Anne Walsh Rimoin ’92 Annie Rimoin celebrates her 25th reunion with appreciation for the important role Middlebury has played in her career as an Epidemiologist, Professor, and virus hunter working to prevent pandemics before they start.

After graduating, she served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Benin before earning her Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) at UCLA and her Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins University. In 2004 she founded the UCLA-DRC Health Research and Training Program in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to train U.S. and Congolese epidemiologists and conduct research on emerging infectious diseases.
