“The economics department faculty is made up of intelligent individuals who come from different backgrounds, but share a passion for the study of economics. They are eager to teach new learners and are often in their offices beyond their office hours visiting with and helping their students.” Wecker was involved in student organizations. “By becoming involved in something that you enjoy, you meet people with similar interests, learn about other opportunities, grow in responsibilities within an organization, and gain practice in self-discipline, time management and communication skills.”
