Fabio Ghironi departs

Assoc. Prof. Fabio Ghironi has resigned to take a position as Professor of Economics at the University of Washington. He joined the department in 2001 after receiving the Ph.D. from University of California-Berkeley in 1999. His work in macroeconomics and international finance is well known. In the past several years, he organized the very successful International Economic Policy and Political Economy (IEPPE) seminar, an undergraduate course that brought many distinguished speakers to campus. Ghironi also played a sizable role in dissertation advisement for many recent Ph.D.s. We wish him well in his new position.

Quinn named Interim Provost

Prof. Joseph Quinn, who served eight years as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, was tapped to fill the position of University Provost and Dean of Faculties following Dr. Cutberto Garza's resignation from that position. He expresses his hopes that the nationwide search for a permanent successor will be swift.
