Posted by Melt van Schoor on 2019-12-20

The Economic Department's Chair, Prof Andrie Schoombee, was honoured during a December graduation ceremony by being awarded a Chancellor's Award for professional services rendered to the university. This award recognises in particular an important milestone, namely that Prof Schoombe has been heading the Department of Economics for twenty years (out of the hundred years it has been in existence) and the excellent management of the department during this period, as widely admired and appreciated by the staff in the department and colleagues in the faculty. His leadership enabled the Department to play a pre-eminent role in high quality research, teaching and community service, while also undergoing significant transformation in terms of its race and gender composition.
