How has being an Economics graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?

"The rigorous coursework lays the foundation for what will be a life of continual learning."

What advice would you give students in Duke's Economics programs? 

"Keep really good notes-- not just from classes, but from guest speakers, events, and other informal activities. There is a good chance that somewhere down the line your "future self" will thank you for helping them to remember something important and/or cool from way back when."
