Through the Smart Health and Wellbeing (SHB) Program, NSF seeks to address fundamental technical and scientific issues that would support much needed transformation of healthcare from reactive and hospital-centered to preventive, proactive, evidence-based, person-centered and focused on wellbeing rather than disease. The issues to be addressed include, but are not limited to, sensor technology, networking, information and machine learning technology, modeling cognitive processes, system and process modeling, and social and economic issues.

Fall 2011 alumni newsletter available electronically

[Posted Nov 10, 2011]

The fall 2011 Department of Economics alumni newsletter is now available electronically. This is meant to be a lighter version than our previous spring 2011 newsletter, and an experiment to see if e-mail delivery is as effective as a print copy by mail. Our plan is to send these out twice a year, with the spring issue somewhat larger. Suggestions and ideas for future content are appreciated.

To find a comprehensive archive of department news stories, we have a new tab now located on the department website. You'll find this on the far left side toward the top, entitled "Department News." This tab will send you to a separate section that only has news stories. Archived department announcements are still accessible through the "Weekly Announcements" tab also on the left-hand side.
