The recent installation of the Department of Economics “Hall of Honor” is designed to celebrate the history and accomplishments of department faculty.

The hall displays two series of portraits which include faculty honored as Distinguished and University Professors, considered Iowa State University’s highest honors. Each honoree's portrait is presented with an accompanying plaque that details their contributions to the discipline of economics and to the university.

The Distinguished Professor series begins with Earl O. Heady, who received the award in 1956. Other individuals featured include Karl A. Fox, John F. Timmons, Neil E. Harl, C. Phillip Baumel, Wayne A. Fuller, George W. Ladd, Dudley G. Luckett, Stanley R. Johnson, Todd M. Sandler, and Wallace E. Huffman.

The University Professor series begins with current faculty member Harvey E. Lapan, who first received the award in 1993. Other individuals featured include Walter Enders, Robert N. Wisner, and Peter Orazem.

The Department of Economics Hall of Honor is open to the public, and is located on the third floor of Heady Hall. As faculty receive future awards, new portraits will be added to the
