Below is a very interesting event that the Fed is holding on Women in Economics on the evenings of Wednesday Feb 17 and Thursday Feb 18. Attached below is draft of a schedule for the breakout rooms the conference is having as well. Dr. Anna Klis will be speaking in a panel at 7:20 pm on Wednesday on “Making a difference through environmental economics.” She thought that this event and perhaps some of the attached sessions may be of interest to our students in Econ, Business, or even Environmental Studies. Please share this with anyone you think may be interested, as the event is free.
Tammy Batson and Dr. Klis have spoken about organizing an NIU-specific “watch party” and discussion group for some of the sessions. Let them know if you are interested in participating.
