DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS

The Economics Department is saddened to share that one of our former colleagues, Mike Marrese, passed away December 26 in New York. He joined our faculty in the late 1970s and left for the IMF and World Bank in 1992. He subsequently became Vice President of Global and Emerging Markets at J.P. Morgan Chase. Some of our faculty and staff will remember Mike as a colleague; others might know of him by reputation. A memorial service is scheduled for Saturday, January 11, in New York.
