Department Seminar
Howard Economics 2023 Spring Seminar
The default date and time each week is Wednesday at 11 am EST. Meetings are in person at the conference room 3F ASB-B unless the university goes remote or we have a remote guest, in which case they will be held over Zoom.
This semester, we also have three job market talks on Tuesday as noted below.
Faculty within the department are encouraged to present their research, and graduate students are welcome to attend these meetings so they can get to know potential advisors and committee members.
If you would like to present, you know of someone who would like to present, or you would like to be added to the seminar email list, please send an email to alexander.henke@howard.edu.
