The Department expresses great thanks to Paul Schoedel ’78 who recently made a planned gift to support students studying economics here at UWM. Paul tells UWM that Economics was a passion and that he saw it as a central part of a strong liberal arts education. He remembered fondly the influence of former Department professors Joe Di Salvo and Richard Perlman. Paul is excited that his gift will eventually support those who want to study the field he so enjoyed at UWM which was so meaningful to him.
