Distinguished Teaching Assistants
The Distinguished Teaching Assistant Awards for 2022-23 were presented at the start-of-year reception on October 12, 2023. The winners of a certificate, a limited-edition coffee mug, and a year's membership to the Econometric Society or the American Economic Association were Clement Bohr, Marie Decamps, Andrea Di Giovan Paolo, Jose Higueras, Diego Huerta, Miguel Jorquera, Avner Kreps, Gaston Lopez, Yiqi Lou, Maria Petri Betto, Evgeni Rachkovski, Pablo Sanchez, Jingyuan Wang, Jin Yang, and Tomer Yehoshua-Sandak. These awards are given to the top third of our Teaching Assistants, based on student and faculty evaluations. These awards have been listed prominently on the vita of our students on the job market, and act as a strong signal to potential employers of your teaching capabilities. This is especially true for students from countries where English is not the first language.
