This past weekend (February 4th-7th) Dr. Yolanda Trevino with IU and IUPUI AGEP took 6 graduate students to Chicago for 3 days to participate in the Great Lakes Alliance for the Social, Behavioral, & Economic Sciences (GLASS) Professional Development conference. This conference hosted students from IU, IUPUI, Purdue, Northwestern, Ohio State University, University of Chicago, University of Illinois, University of Wisconsin, and Temple University; with over 100 students in attendance. The topic for the weekend was "Tools of the Trade", with a purpose of helping graduate students learn the tools they need to succeed in graduate school and academia. Overall this opportunity was a fun and resourceful networking and development experience for the students.

IU SBES Professor Elinor Ostrom Nobel Prize Recipient: Lecture Tuesday February 16th

IU Professor of Economics Elinor Ostrom's receipt of the 2009 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel brought a great deal of excitement to the Bloomington campus. In December, Professor Ostrom travelled to Stockholm, Sweden to accept the award. There, she and the other Nobel Prize recipients delivered lectures as part of the week of activities leading up to the Nobel ceremony.


On Tuesday, February 16, Professor Ostrom will present her Nobel Prize lecture at the Indiana University Auditorium at 4 p.m. I invite you to attend.

The lecture, which is open to the public, will be much the same as the informal lecture Professor Ostrom delivered in Stockholm. In it, she will give an overview of the research she has done during her extraordinary career.

The lecture is an opportunity for members of the campus community to learn more about her work and to celebrate her accomplishment.
