Economics Undergraduate Advising

Concentration Advisors
Economics concentration advisors are graduate students in the Economics Department who have been trained to respond to the questions and concerns of undergraduate concentrators. The concentration advisors can sign your study card, drop/add forms, change of concentration forms, and so on. More important, they will help you understand your departmental requirements, discuss your academic interests, and offer advice on course choices. You may also discuss your future plans, such as graduate or professional school.

Each economics concentrator has an assigned concentration advisor. Advisors are assigned by house; for example, all economics concentrators in Adams House have the same advisor. The concentration advisors for 2007-2008 are:

Adams House and Quincy House: Thomas Baranga, Cabot House and Winthrop House: Richard Townsend, Currier House and Mather House: Eyal Dvir, Dunster, Leverett and Dudley House: Naomi Hausman, Eliot and Kirkland House: Justin Kai-Jen Ho, Lowell House: Jonathan Hall, Pforzheimer House Thomas Wang

You may contact your advisor for help or information at any time.

In addition, all seven of the advisors hold walk-in advising office hours, open to all concentrators, at the Economics Undergraduate Office at Littauer 111 (Mon-Fri 10am-4pm). No appointment is needed. The walk-in advising office phone number is 495.3290. The Fall 2007 advisors' schedule follows:

Eyal Dvir, Friday 10-4:00pm

Justin Kai-Jen Ho, T 1-2:00, Th 11-2:00pm

Naomi Hausman, T 10-1:00pm, Th 10-11:00pm
