New lead administrator joins MacMillian Center

February 26, 2020

Recently, John Beecher joined the Whitney & Betty MacMillan Center for International & Area Studies as their new lead administrator.

John’s extensive experience at Yale in a variety of roles prepared him for the many different units and wonderful range of activities at the MacMillan Center. From 2002 to 2012, he served in increasingly senior administrative roles in the Department of Pediatrics and the Department of Neurology at the Medical School. During that time, he acquired many of the budgetary, grant, and administrative processes and skills needed to run the financial operations of a Yale department.

Between 2012 and 2020, John was a Senior Business Systems Analyst in Yale’s Finance, Financial Systems and Solutions Group at Science Park.

John has a B.S. in International Business from Providence College. He has experience living and traveling abroad and is excited to be working in a center that has an international focus.

The MacMillan Center and its staff welcome John to their team.
