Walter Mead Graduate Student Fellowship
We are pleased to announce
that Walter and Thelma Mead recently pledged a generous donation
to free a talented entering Ph.D. student from teaching responsibilities
for one year during their course of study when it would be
most advantageous in completing research. Walter Mead, Professor
Emeritus of Economics, had a distinguished career as a natural
resource economist at UCSB.

Walter and Thelma Mead
| Our first Mead
Fellow, Stephane Verani, received his
undergraduate training from the University of Western
Australia. Stephane is a very accomplished student who
has already completed an econometrics research paper
with noted researcher Darrell Turkington. Completed
research of any type by entering Ph.D. students is rare,
completed research in econometrics is rarer still. |
