Economics Alumni Advisory Committee
Founded in 2010, the Economics Department Alumni Advisory Committee provides recommendations to the department for improved communications among alumni and between faculty and alumni. To build stronger relationships, the Department of Economics co-sponsors the GW Alumni Lecture Series in Economics, a networking event that brings prominent economists to speak on current economic events and interact with members of the GW economics community. The committee also helps support three endowed funds for economics students.
