Hosting @SpelmanCollege students and VLab RAs at our workshop is always a highlight of our year!.Belated thanks @aviceisza for your support and especially this year’s mentoring of all attendees through your participation on our panel discussion to demystify the PhD in Econ path!.
Always invigorating to attend the @PhD_Excellence Workshop organized by @PeterBlairHenry at @HooverInst and hosted by @NewYorkFed. This year, I attended with VLab RAs, Taylor McDole and Bahiyah Leito, and served on a panel on the hidden curriculum in economics/graduate school.
