    One factor that led me to graduate school was the interaction that I had with faculty outside of the classroom. Had I not experience those interactions, I would have never wound up where I am today, thinking that all faculty members did was teach. I had no idea that research and pushing to frontier of knowledge was in the job description.  Therefore, I strive to incorporate undergraduates into research, to expose them to areas of the university they may not otherwise experience, cultivate curiosity, and develop hard skills. 

    I also recognize that the time of a UROP project is much shorter than a broader research project.  That is why I think it is important to highlight where one objective carried out in the UROP program fits into a broader research question or agenda. 

    While not everyone will decide research is for them, I am proud that one of my former mentees took a job at the Federal Reserve as a research assistant, and hopes to apply to Ph.D. programs in Economics this year.

  overall_research_project_description: |-
    During WWI, agricultural commodity prices spiked as Europe entered war. In the United States, this led to large increases in crop prices and wages. In this project, we want to understand how rising wages affect long term educational outcomes. For individuals nearing high school completion, high wages may result in students dropping out to enter the labor force. However, for younger children, higher wages mean that their parents have more resources to invest, possibly leading to increases in education for cohorts just beginning school. 

    A key part of this project will involve the collection of enrollment and funding statistics from state boards of education prior to and after World War I. These data in combination with variation in local labor market conditions will make it possible to eventually estimate the statistical relationship.
