The Department of Economics has a new name. The University of Guelph Senate voted Monday to change the name to the Department of Economics and Finance. Chair John Livernois says the name change more accurately reflects the teaching and research that are done in the Department. It’s also important for the public profile of the College of Management and Economics (CME), he says. CME houses business-related programs, and finance is one of the major fields of study at any business school.
April 8: CME Staff Member Returns to Nepal
When it was announced that Frebis Hoffmeyer, Assistant B.Comm. Program Counsellor in the College of Management and Economics, would be a Leave for Change volunteer from the University of Guelph, Raja Khanal was one of the first people to contact her. The two had never met, but Raja, an expatriate Nepali engaged in PhD studies at the University of Guelph, was offering his support to help Frebis prepare for her volunteer assignment in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. That was in 2007.
