World renowned economist Dr. William Baumol graciously delivered remarks at the Academy’s annual Faculty Affiliates dinner on March 14, 2007.  Over fifty faculty members from the Academy’s affiliate network got the chance to mingle with Baumol, who is best known for his lifelong work to build a place for the entrepreneur in economic theory. 

Tony Mendes, Executive Director for the Academy said of his visit, “having Dr. Baumol as our highly acclaimed guest speaker was a fabulous opportunity to host one of the world’s most distinguished teachers in entrepreneurship education.  He serves as an inspiration to lead our faculty onward to new heights.”

Dr. Baumol is currently the academic director of the Berkley Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at NYU, the Harold Price Professor of Entrepreneurship and Economics at NYU, and Professor Emeritus at Princeton University.
