“Just like in Hollywood, it’s awards season at the Department of Economics,” said Professor Michael Baker, the associate chair of undergraduate programs, as he opened the 2025 Undergraduate Awards of Excellence in Economics, echoing the playful tone set by comedian Conan O’Brien at the Oscars just a few days earlier.
The ceremony, which took place on March 5 at Max Gluskin House, recognized the winners of 22 awards with a total value of $35,979.84.
Award recipients were celebrated for coursework completed during the 2023–24 academic year.
Donors Robert Douglas, Louise Harris and Ilana Hosios, and Patricia Higgins attended the celebration to present certificates to award winners.
