“I am genuinely grateful to receive the Outstanding Achievement Award in Economics. College students work so diligently in school, extracurricular activities, personal life, and work- yet they are rarely recognized for their accomplishments. It’s refreshing to be acknowledged. Thank you to all who have guided me the past few years and recognized my hard work. Some of my dearest professors include Dr. Bohan Ye, Dr. Timothy Schibik, and Dr. Cathy Carey. They have all been excellent mentors to me in the Romain College of Business. Thank you so much!”
