The Becker Friedman Institute for Economics (BFI) hosted the welcome back faculty reception on October 24, 2024, which included a session that featured introductions and brief research talks from the 2024-2025 Saieh Fellows. This was an excellent opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and advisory council members at the start of a new academic year.
