    Message from the Chair

    One of the most satisfying rewards for serving as department chair has been the opportunity to meet many of you and to hear what you are up to. Whether its research on string theory, market research, banking, teaching, or founding a startup, I’m amazed at the breadth of accomplishment our graduates have enjoyed.
