Make a Difference with Unrestricted Gifts

Unrestricted gifts to the Department are designated to the highest priority needs by the Department Chair. This flexible funding allows the Department to seize new opportunities that emerge as well as support existing outstanding students, faculty, programs and research.

Unrestricted funds may be used for many kinds of assistance, including:

• Support and reward the research endeavors of our very best students
• Attract and hire the most competitively recruited economists at every stage of their careers
• Support the best and brightest graduate students in their pursuit of a Ph.D. degree
• Bring distinguished lecturers to the Department to the benefit of both faculty and students
• Outfit and equip classrooms and computer laboratories where faculty and students of all levels can interact
