In fall 2017, the economics department awarded Professor Lleras-Muney the Warren C. Scoville Distinguished Teaching Award for her class Economics 130: Public Finance. Professor Lleras-Muney’s popular lab-based public finance course introduces students to the latest issues on a range of public policy topics, ranging from health care to education. The class instructs students in data analysis, improves their analytical skills, hones their writing skills by teaching them how to write policy memos, and engages them in policy debates. Congratulations Adriana!
