Each year we publish a directory of the current employment and addresses of our Ph.D. alums. We mail this each November. If you did not receive your copy, or wish to update your listing please contact our Graduate Program Coordinator at econphd@northwestern.edu.

The continued interest and generosity of our alumni is a key element that helps us maintain and improve one of the premier graduate economics programs in the world.  Your assistance plays a crucial role in helping our current crop of graduate students - your successors - achieve their full potential as researchers and teachers.  I sincerely hope that you will help us preserve and extend the important tradition of which you are a part, and want to remind you that gifts specifically earmarked for the Economics department come directly to us, and will be used wholly for the benefit of our students, and to strengthen our program.  If you would like to make a gift online, please visit us at:
