Economists Musa Orek of the Federal Reserve in Washington DC and Professor Elena Spatoulas Patel of the University of Utah came to UMass Lowell on May 2, 2019 to present at the Economic Department’s symposium on the growing role of women, minorities and international scholars in Economics. They gave the students an overview of all of the varied opportunities open to those who study the discipline. Many current and prospective economics majors and faculty attended the event. The symposium was part of the ongoing effort by the department to introduce its students to the richness and variety of “voices” and potential experiences within the economics profession.
