AROUND THE QUADS
Student, Faculty News
Three College seniors presented papers at Georgetown in mid-April
at the Carroll Round conference on international economics. Sohini
Kar ’04 analyzed the fiscal deficit in India, Joh
Soleanicov ’04 examined inflation in Romania and
Kai Szakmary ’04 discussed the Chinese exchange
rate system. The student-run conference, founded three years ago
by Georgetown students, is open to undergraduates from around the
country who submit independent, scientific research in the field
of international economics.
Five faculty members were elected to the prestigious National Academy
of Sciences in April: Louis E. Bruns, Thomas A.
Edison professor of chemical engineering; Martin Chalfie,
William R. Kenan Jr. professor of biological sciences; Barry
H. Honig, professor of biochemistry and molecular biophysics;
Dennis Kent, adjunct senior research scientist
at Lamont-Doherty observatory; and Walter Mischel,
Robert Johnson Niven professor of humane letters in psychology.
Their election is considered one of the highest honors that can
be accorded a U.S. scientist or engineer.
Five faculty members received the 2004 Presidential Awards for
Outstanding Teaching: Suzanne Bakken, alumni professor
of the School of Nursing and professor of biomedical informatics;
