Center for Economic Research to Hold Free Seminar
The UW-River Falls Center for Economic Research is holding a seminar examining
the effect of the freshman seminar course on Nov. 19 at 3:15 p.m. in Room 321
of South Hall. The course introduces students to the majors and minors in the
College of Business and Economics and explores careers in business and related
fields.
Brian Schultz and Glenn Potts, both economics professors, will present, "The
Academic Effect of the Freshman Seminar after Eight Semesters." The research
presentation looks at approximately 350 students enrolled at the university
in the fall of 2000 and the possible effect of participation in the seminar
course on the student's final grade point average at the time of graduation.
The seminar is free and open to the public. The presentation will be preceded
by refreshments at 3 p.m. in Room 317 of South Hall.
