Department Hosts Annual Graduation Reception

The department continued the tradition of holding its annual graduation reception to recognize our graduating students and meet their families. Parents, relatives, friends, faculty, and staff gathered on May 5, 2023, to honor our undergraduate and graduate students who graduated in May or August 2023. Vijay Chirumamilla, Lucy Lippman, and Theron Verburg reflected on their undergraduate days as economics majors. Our faculty speakers included Michael Kaganovich, Chair; James Walker, Associate Chair; James Self, Director of Undergraduate Studies; and John Stone, former Director of Undergraduate Studies. Each graduate was individually recognized and photographed with two of our faculty speakers.
