The annual Ohio Wesleyan Economic Outlook Conference is taking place on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Regular readers know my “disdain” for copying work.
This is a press release from OWU associate director of media and community relations (my title in a for
mer life) Cole Hatcher and I wanted to get the information out before bed tonight.
From the housing market meltdown and the credit crunch, to the rise in fuel costs and the decline of the dollar, our economy appears to be on shaky ground. So will it find its footing in 2008, or continue to stumble?
A panel of experts will examine the fiscal forecast at Ohio Wesleyan University’s 2008 Economic Outlook Conference. The conference will be held at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 28 in the Benes Rooms of Hamilton-Williams Campus Center, 40 Rowland Ave. The event is free and open to the public. It also will be available via a live Web stream at stream.owu.edu.
Participating on this year’s panel are Owen F. Humpage, senior economic adviser for the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland; Bill LaFayette, Ph.D., vice president of economic analysis for the Columbus Chamber; and Dale W. Larson, Ph.D., assistant professor at the American University School of International Service and principal consultant for Larson Global Consulting, Inc.
The annual Economic Outlook Conference is co-sponsored by Ohio Wesleyan’s Department of Economics and its Woltemade Center for Economics, Business, and Entrepreneurship. During the conference, each panelist will speak for 15 minutes and then respond to questions and comments from the audience. Robert Gitter, Ph.D., professor of economics and coordinator of the conference, will serve as moderator.
It should be a great time and I hope to get over after TOPS, but if not, I’ll definately be checking out the streaming video.
