Hawks, Doves and (Wesleyan) Cardinals

The Federal Reserve Board welcomed a Wesleyan alum today: Lael Brainard '83 was sworn in (she's second from right, along with Jerome Powell, Janet Yellen and Stanley Fisher).

Brainard previously served as Undersecretary of the Treasury for International Affairs; the NY Times' Annie Lowrey wrote a brief profile of Brainard when she stepped down from that post last year.
