JD Candidate at University of Richmond School of Law

During my time at Salisbury University, I collaborated closely with faculty in the Economics Department to conduct research on public policy issues related to poverty and access to reproductive healthcare. The experience sharpened my analytical, writing, and presentation skills, and provided a strong foundation for my legal education. The Economics Department provided valuable support and flexibility, allowing me to examine issues aligned with my interests through an economic framework. The mentorship and support I received from the economics faculty significantly enriched my academic experience!

Ph.D. Candidate of Economics at University of Tennessee, Haslam College of Business

My experience at Salisbury University was instrumental in preparing me for my PhD journey at the University of Tennessee. The strong quantitative training, hands-on research opportunities, and early exposure to teaching through the Supplemental Instruction (SI) program uniquely positioned me for success. As a PhD student with interests in labor and education, the Labor Economics course I took in ³ÉÈ˶¶Òõlaid an essential foundation for the graduate-level work I now pursue. My research assistantship with the department faculty gave me a firsthand look into the research demands of academic life and built the skills I now use daily. The unwavering support from the Economics Department and the broader ³ÉÈ˶¶Òõcommunity was crucial to my development.
