Rasiel is First Gorman Prize WinnerAt the May 14 Economics Department commencement ceremony, DFE Teaching Director and Richard Y. Li Professor of the Practice Emma Rasiel was awarded the inaugural Gorman Prize for Excellence in Economics. The annual prize, generously endowed by alumni Elizabeth and Michael Gorman, recognizes economics faculty who have a significant impact on the department and Duke.
"[Emma] is beloved by [her] students, by alums, by the staff, and of course, by [her] colleagues," Department Chair Jimmy Roberts said in announcing the award. "I can honestly say I'm not sure I've ever met anybody who gets more out of a 24-hour period than [Emma]."
Watch Roberts present the award to Rasiel in the video above.
