Dennis McLaughlin Becomes Inaugural
Dr. T.W. Adams Professor for a Day

The Department of Economics welcomed Dennis McLaughlin to campus February 1 and 2 as the Adams Professor for a Day. McLaughlin lectured in classes and shared life experiences with students.
"He is one of our graduates who has been very successful in the private sector and adheres to the philosophy that a liberal arts education is the best preparation for success," said department chair Alexander Holmes.
Students in the advanced economics classes were treated to a full class period of McLaughlin's entrepreneurial expertise. For more on Dennis McLaughlin, visit our Alumnus Spotlight feature.
