The EGSA is Recognized as an Official Organization

• The University has formally recognized the EGSA as an official organization.  What does this mean?  Among other things, the EGSA can now apply for funding from the University to hold social events.  If you have ideas for how to use this funding, attend one of the EGSA meetings or submit your idea to us at casegsa@neu.edu.

Interested in Getting Together with Other Students?

• If you would like to organize an informal gathering--whether it's a trip to a movie, out for dinner, to a sporting event, or to a seminar--you can send an e-mail to us at casegsa@neu.edu and we will forward it to all of the Economics graduate students.  In the near future, we hope to have a bulletin board up and running so that anyone can post announcements.

EGSA Officers

• The new EGSA officers are Aziz Karimov (president) and Murat Issabayev (Vice President/Secretary).  There was a tie for Treasurer (Elena Myronova and Altan Iyigun).  A run-off election for the Treasurer position will be held by e-mail the week of 20 October.
