Boxi Yang receives 2020 Outstanding TA Award
Every year, the Department of Economics seeks to reward our most outstanding teaching assistants for the hard work they have put forward throughout the year. The Terry Heaps Outstanding Teaching Assistant (TA) Award recognizes those who go above and beyond when it came to supporting students and faculty.
This year's award goes to PhD candidate Boxi Yang. Congratulations!
