This month, we will host the Austrian Economics Research Conference (AERC), one of our most important programs. We’ll have thirty-one students attending, and nineteen students will deliver papers of their own. How encouraging!Dr. Joseph Salerno, our Academic Vice President, says: “The students who present papers at AERC are of the highest quality. They are attracted by a scholarly competition offering generous monetary awards in which paper submissions are subjected to a rigorous evaluation by a committee of senior Austrian scholars. A paper presentation at AERC to an audience of professional economists is an all-important first step for the student who aims to pursue an academic career.”We all know universities are full of leftists, but Dr.

We all know universities are full of leftists, but Dr. Salerno points out that the leftists also have an advantage when it comes to professional growth opportunities. They have plenty of conferences to attend and plenty of journals that will consider their papers. They can easily build their resumes, which means finding jobs. Our Austrian students have far fewer opportunities.
Hence the AERC. Over the last thirty years, this conference has been the first step to a career in academia for many Austrian scholars.
Please consider funding scholarships for the best and brightest to come to AERC. A participant scholarship—which includes admission and meals—is $285. A scholarship for a presenting student—which also includes three nights at the Auburn University Hotel—is $705. Of course, we would be grateful for a donation in any amount. These students need your help.
With warmest regards,
Tom
