Kulkarni elected president

Economics Professor Kishore G. Kulkarni was elected president of the Southwestern Society of Economists for 2017-18. The society recently held its 44th annual conference in conjunction with Federation of Business Disciplines in Little Rock, Arkansas, and Kulkarni served as the program chair. The society invites academicians, practitioners, and undergraduate and graduate students to present papers, organize paper/project sessions or panels, or serve as session chairs of projects focused on economics topics.

Congress on Research in Education

Faculty from every college and school within the University recently attended the 14th Puerto Rican Congress on Research in Education at the University of Puerto Rico at Rio Piedras. The conference is every two years and attracts faculty and staff in education from North America, South America and Europe. The congress includes a wide variety of educational presentation tracts, and MSU Denver attendees took part in several. In addition to their daily panels, Executive Director of the Office of International Studies Akbarali Thobhani and Education associate professors Carmen Sanjurjo and Jan Perry Evenstad were keynote speakers at the conference’s Wednesday opening ceremonies.
