College News

LeBow students and faculty were recognized at the end-of-the-year Drexel Graduate Student Day presented by the Graduate College and GSA

Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business has received a $100,000 gift for its PhD program from Margaret T. Clark, PhD, whose late husband, John J. Clark, PhD, created LeBow’s doctoral program in 1981.

Christopher Laincz, Ph.D., associate professor of economics and director of the LeBow Ph.D. program, has spent much of his career researching macroeconomics and economic development. Here, he shares his insights about the federal government shutdown and what Americans can expect October 17 if the debt ceiling isn’t raised.
