Friends,
I hope the summer is treating you well. Here is the link to the Spring 2024 department newsletter.
https://wmich.edu/sites/default/files/attachments/u7057/2024/Economics%20Spring%202024%20Newsletter.pdf

I hope that you find the newsletter informative. It was an excellent year for the department, and we are excited to share all that has transpired. When I started as department chair last year, a goal of mine was to increase alumni relations—we hope that this newsletter is the start of this improved outreach.

Please keep in touch with us as we work to update our mailing and email address information. We would like to hear from you and expand our Alumni News and Notes section for the next newsletter. Also, if you would like a printed copy of the newsletter, please let me know, and we will send you one.

Finally, please be on the lookout for upcoming news on the 2024/25 Sichel Series as well - "Refugees Worldwide" promises to be a great series.

Warmest regards,
Mike
