The faculty and students in the Department of Economics acknowledge the generosity of our alumni and other donors with gratitude. Their gifts have made the department a better place to teach, to learn, and to conduct research. Of course, the department continues to have major capital and other needs. The establishment of endowed chairs and fellowships as well as comprehensive renovation of the building in which the department is housed remain pressing objectives. Donors wishing to learn more about these major unmet needs should contact Karen Fung, Director of Development (kfung@bu.edu), Professor Laurence Kotlikoff (kotlikof@bu.edu) or Professor Kevin Lang (lang@bu.edu).
