Opportunity to Share Your Concerns and Suggestions about Econ Program
Students with undergraduate economics programs
are invited to participate in an informal discussion
of the department's success in meeting economics program
student learning objectives.
Student feedback is shared with the entire economics department and
is considered seriously as we make our annual plans for improving our
program. For example, in the past students have recommended that we
create a program with an emphasis in mathematics to better prepare people
for grad school. This year we created such a program that will be available
beginning Fall 2010. So, please come share your concerns and suggestions.
The discussion will be hosted by Professors Hansen and Wisman
on Monday, February 15, 3:35-4:30 in Roper 101.
See you there,
Prof. H.
