Dickinson College in Carlisle is set to make waves this fall with the launch of the Burgess Institute for the Global Economy. The institute, named after Dickinson alumnus and trustee John “Jack” Burgess, aims to provide students with opportunities to engage in research, internships, and coursework focused on global economic issues.
With a mission to develop innovative solutions to today’s most pressing economic challenges, the institute will offer a variety of programs, including a research fellowship for students to work alongside faculty on cutting-edge research projects. Additionally, students will have the chance to participate in internships with organizations that are making a difference in the global economy.
The institute will also offer a series of courses focused on topics such as international trade, economic development, and sustainable business practices. Through these courses, students will gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of the global economy and develop the skills needed to address these challenges in their future careers.
The launch of the Burgess Institute for the Global Economy is an exciting development for Dickinson College and its students. By providing opportunities for students to engage in research, internships, and coursework focused on global economic issues, the institute will prepare students to become leaders in the field of economics and make a positive impact on the world. With the support of the Burgess family and other generous donors, the institute is poised to make a significant contribution to the field of economics and provide students with the tools they need to succeed in an increasingly interconnected global economy.
