At IUP, I am active in a variety of ways:

• In Fall 2004, I became tenured and was promoted from Assistant Professor to Associate Professor (my vita). 
  
• I enjoy regularly teaching principles of economics, experimental economics, public finance, international trade, information economics, and intermediate microeconomic theory.
• I additionally have enjoyed teaching high school students as part the IUP Summer (Honors) Progam in Economics several years.
• Beginning in Fall 2003, I serve as Co-Director for the IUP Center for Economic Education, affiliated with EconomicsPennsylvania and the National Council on Economic Education.
• I serve on the University Senate and as Chair of the Library and Educational Services Committee.
• I have served on the IUP Interfaith Council.
• I have been a member of the Asian Studies Committee.
• During the 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 academic years, I served on the Educational Offerings subcommittee for the Middle States accredidation review.
• During the 2004-2005 academic year, I served on the ad hoc Information Resources Task Force.
  
• I am a member of the Department of Economics Curriculum Committee and have served as committee chair in the past.
• I participate in Economics Club events including regular meetings, Dinner at the J's, and speaking seminars (often returning Department of Economics alumni) on campus and at Saint Vincent College.  In the past we have traveled to New York City to tour the NYSE and to Washington, D.C. to tour the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Federal Reserve Bank (I even got to sit in Alan Greenspan's chair in the Board of Governors Boardroom!).  One year we ran one or more concession stands at nine Altoona Curve baseball games as a fundraiser.
  
• I have presented my own research at the Southern Economic Association, Midwest Economic Association, Pennsylvania Economic Association, Public Choice Society, and Society for the Scientific Study of Religion meetings.
• The other Dr. Jozefowicz and myself have taken students to present their own research at the Midwest Economic Association, Pennsylvania Economic Association, and Southern Economic Association annual conferences in various years.  Students have also presented their research on campus at IUP as part of the Sigma Xi Research Day in the spring.
• Graduation is always a celebrated time for myself and IUP students!
