Letter to the Alumni

Dear Alumni,

As some of you know may know, our department has been making an initiative to contact alumni in order to rebuild old connections and foster new relationships. The benefits of having a strong alumni base are obvious and it is our hope that this academic year we can create an active list of GF Economic alumni.

Update all your information at the The New School Alumni Relations page.

We are proud of our graduates and we know that many former students are doing very valuable things for our society and working in exciting places. We believe it is important to find out about our students' accomplishments and achievements and share this information with others. Please also check out our homepage regularly. We are in the process of adding a section devoted to our current students and the projects and papers they are working on.

As our department continues to commit itself to those traditions and methods of economic study that we find crucial to modern economics, we are excited about the prospects for our department. A grant awarded by Bernard Schwartz has allowed us to financially support more students and we will be hiring a new senior professor this academic year.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world." Although Margaret Mead was not an economist, our department can borrow her quote as we constantly define ourselves in a world of neoclassical economics.

We look forward to hearing from you,

The Faculty and Students of the Economics Department
