I am serving as the Graduate Coordinator for the M.A. Program in Economics. The Graduate Coordinator is responsible for the following:

- Review of petitions for the following: currency of courses, course substitions, classification
- Approval of students' applications for advancement to candidacy
- Organization an annual event in the fall for graduate students, faculty, and their families
In order to impove information available to graduate students:
- I have revised the Graduate Student Handbook to reflect recent program changes
- I created a web page with information for prospective and current graduate students
- I created a graduate student advising worksheet, to help graduate students to plan their coursework
- I established a recommended timeline and steps for students to begin work on their theses/projects
- I hold drop-in office hours each semeseter specifically for graduate students:
In conjunction with the Graduate Committee, I have petitioned to incorporate prerequisites into the graduate curriculum. These changes are designed to better guide and sequence students through the M.A. program in Economics.
