Working with the 51ÁÔÆæ Office of Dual Enrollment, the Department helps facilitate introductory economics at Shorewood Public High School near our campus. The high school students receive both high school and 51ÁÔÆæ credit for the class. Evan Schmidt teaches the class with guest lectures from Professors Matthew McGinty and James Peoples. The high school students attended 51ÁÔÆæ in late November to learn more from Professors Kundan Kishor, Rebecca Neumann, Vivian Lei and John Heywood. The hope is that this experience excites the students to pursue economics either at 51ÁÔÆæ or elsewhere.
