A Haverford Economics education will prepare you for many different career paths. Many alumni continue their education in a diverse set of programs, including economics PhD programs, business school, law school, public policy school, and medical school.
Haverford economics alumni can be found in important positions throughout the economy: in business and finance, in government and nonprofit work, in journalism, and even in sports management. A large number continue to be involved in the academic world through research and teaching.
Economic Endeavors - Economics Alumni Newsletter
As a department, we are working to expand our network of alumni. To further this effort, we created “Economic Endeavors,” an economics alumni newsletter, in the Fall of 2007. Our inaugural issue focused on alumni from 2000-07. Because we received such a large number of responses, we decided to reach out to alumni from all eras. Once again, we had an overwhelming number of responses from the Class of 1941 through the class of 2007.
Economics & CPGC
Center for Peace and Global Citizenship, began the yearly sponsored seminar series on important economic issues of the day. The initial seminar focused on economic issues of the presidential election, and highlighted alumni David Wessel, ’75 and Timothy Taylor, ’82. The discussion was moderated by Caitlin Coslett '05, NYU School of Law, where she is a Lederman/Milbank Fellow in Law and Economics.
This year's topic focuses on Economic Perspectives on Health Care Reform, led by alumni Gerard Anderson '73 and Timothy Taylor '82, moderated by Dan Sacks '08. The event is scheduled for Wednesday October 21, 5:00pm in Sharpless Auditorium. A wine-cheese reception will follow in the KINSC Rotunda at 6:30pm.
In addition, William Comanor, ’59, has endowed a fund for an annual spring alumni event, featuring a public talk by an eminent economist and followed by a banquet to celebrate his or her work. The inaugural Comanor lecture will take place in Spring 2010.
