A Lollapalooza of Congratulations

Several folks with Berry connections have notable recent achievements:

My former student John Coleman has been accepted to Harvard Business School.

2006 graduate Sam Bulow landed a job with Princeton's investment company.

December graduate Nancy Vogh is the inaugural winner of the J. Wilson Mixon Jr. (where have I heard that name before?) Outstanding Senior in Economics Award. Nancy's headed for Clemson's doctoral program in economics.

Current student Erin Wendt has been selected a Richards Scholar; the program provides students with a generous stipend for an academic activity outside of the normal curriculum. Erin plans to intern and/or do fieldwork with an NGO specializing in African economic development. (Bleg--I'd appreciate readers' suggestions for contacts/experiences that would help Erin design a fieldwork program in Africa.)

Our new hire Melissa Yeoh is now Dr. Yeoh; she successfully defended her dissertation earlier today.

Kudos to all--it's quality folks like you that make Berry a great place to teach.

The statesman who should attempt to direct private people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals would not only load himself with a most unnecessary attention, but assume an authority which could safely be trusted, not only to no single person, but to no council or senate whatever, and which would nowhere be so dangerous as in the hands of a man who had folly and presumption enough to fancy himself fit to exercise it. -Adam Smith
