Alumni Mailing Lists

We are currently offering two mailing lists specifically for Alumni use. The Econ Alumni Announce list is a distribution list for the department to circulate information and details of events. The Econ Alumni Discuss list is a general discussion list for economics matters and department events.

Seminars run by the department as part of its normal teaching function are open to the public. They are run during the Fall and Spring Semesters, and details are announced on the department seminars page and the associated optional e-mailing list.
