Your gift makes an impact on our Economics students!
The
computer lab renovations will support better preparing our students for jobs
in economic data analysis and policy evaluation through offering courses
in data science, statistical programming, behavioral economics, and
experimental economics that would be of interest to economics and non-economics
students but require up-to-date facilities. The renovation of the
computer labs will create a better learning environment to support student
success by providing access to a space that promotes active
engagement, fosters collaborative opportunities, and contributes to building
stronger peer-to-peer relationships and peer-to-faculty interactions.
These
computer lab renovations will allow the Department of Economics to accommodate
the needs of existing students by creating a functional, modern, and
ergonomically appropriate space. For example, the current computer lab
spaces feature non-ADA-compliant furniture (desks, chairs) with a layout that
hinders the participation of students with mobility concerns.
These
renovations will also support the recruitment and retention efforts of
the department by creating a cohesive, functional space for the students by showcasing
our facilities to prospective students. For instance, your support will allow
the department to continue renovations to its main spaces, following
renovations in its main office suite and its multipurpose Economics Learning
Center spaces, renovations that were possible due to the general contributions
of our alums over the years.
Thank you for giving to the Department of Economics!
