兰斯Wescher
经济学教授
系主任
经济与社区发展
自2006年至今
威尼斯人平台的经济学为许多不同的领域打开了大门。 We have alums who are federal judges, business consultants, financial managers, lawyers, missionaries, real-estate developers, marketing managers, portfolio analysts and economists, among other things. They are finding tremendous levels of success and impacting their communities.
As a professor, I encourage my students to study the discipline seriously, question rigorously, refuse to accept simplistic answers, accept tension between ideas, work collaboratively towards finding solutions, and seek wisdom as the end goal. I'm fortunate to get to see the amazing things that our graduates go on to do with the way of thinking that they develop in our program.
