Stories about our Students

• Alborz's Journey at the University of Alberta

  Learn how the University of Alberta’s Economics Master’s program prepared one student for success in research and industry. Alborz Moezzi embodies the program's strengths, proving its ability to equip students with a powerful skillset for lasting career impact. Below, you can access the article Alborz wrote by clicking on the picture.

  Alborz Moessi

  

  I completed my Master’s degree in Economics at the University of Alberta, an experience that fundamentally reshaped how I think about economics, research, and applied problem-solving.

  
  What initially drew me to the University of Alberta was its strong academic reputation, the breadth of research conducted by faculty, and the flexibility of the program. The department offers both PhD preparation and job-market-oriented masters degree pathways, largely determined by the courses students choose. That flexibility proved decisive for me.

  
  The most defining moment of my degree came during my second semester, when I took Applied Econometrics, Machine Learning for Economists, and an Applied Research Project course. These courses marked a clear transition from theory to application. They pushed me into coding, modeling, and macroeconomic time-series forecasting, and required me to actively apply economic intuition rather than simply learn it. That semester gave me a practical toolkit that directly translated into my internships and later research work.

  
  Two professors played a particularly important role in my development: Professor Valentina Galvani and Professor Sebastian Fossati, who supervised my capstone project. Professor Fossati’s applied and machine learning courses were instrumental in building my technical foundation, while Professor Galvani’s mentorship shaped how I approach research, structure analysis, and communicate results. I am currently continuing this work as a research assistant with Professor Galvani after graduating.

  
  My first semester was heavily theory-based and, at times, challenging. However, that theoretical foundation proved invaluable once I moved into applied work. Concepts that initially felt abstract became essential when building models, interpreting results, and understanding their limitations.

  
  During my degree, I chose to extend my program and complete an eight-month MITACS internship, rather than finishing in the standard timeline. That decision allowed me to gain nearly a full year of professional experience, deepen my technical skills, and write my capstone paper based on real applied research. I also took additional data analysis courses, which further strengthened my preparation for the job market.

  
  As an international student, I found the University of Alberta to be a supportive and credible institution, both academically and professionally. Since graduating, my life has been filled with continued learning, research, and refining the skills I developed during my degree and internships.

  
  One belief I often share with students is this: a master’s degree may take one or two years, but it stays with you for the rest of your life. If you feel uncertain, reach out. I have organized webinars for undergraduate economics students to discuss what a master’s degree actually entails, what skills it builds, and what life looks like afterward. You cannot regret learning more.

• Alumni Succeeding at Bank of Canada

  The University of Alberta's Department of Economics received a heartwarming visit in early August. Two recent Bachelor of Arts in Economics alumni, Selam Abraham and Austin Ference, returned to their former department alongside their Bank of Canada manager, Farrukh Suvankulov, bringing with them exceptional praise for the education they received at the U of A.

  Alumni Visiting Our Department

  

  Selam Abraham and Austin Ference returned to their former department, alongside their Bank of Canada manager, Farrukh Suvankulov. The trio was in Edmonton for meetings with Government of Alberta officials, but Suvankulov specifically requested a visit to the Economics department to express his gratitude for the outstanding economists the program consistently produces. His message was unequivocal in its praise.

  
  "Please also convey my regards to Valentina Galvani (the Chair of the Department of Economics at the University of Alberta), and thank her for running one of the best economics departments in the country," Suvankulov told department members. "The Bank feels very fortunate and thankful to have hired graduates like Austin and Selam — and I truly mean it. Please keep doing what you have been doing."

  
  During their visit, the group posed for photos with Professor Malik Shukayev in front of a display case containing two prestigious Bank of Canada Governor's Challenge prizes. They're tangible symbols of the exceptional work these graduates accomplished while still students. Selam's team earned their victory in 2023, while Austin's team claimed the prize in 2021, demonstrating the department's consistent excellence in this national competition.

  
  The Governor's Challenge, which invites students to tackle real economic policy questions facing the Bank of Canada, represents one of the most prestigious undergraduate economics competitions in the country. The fact that U of A teams have claimed multiple victories speaks volumes about both the quality of education students receive and their dedication to applying economic principles to real-world challenges.

  
  The success story extends beyond individual achievement. During their visit to the Government of Alberta, Abraham and Ference had the opportunity to reconnect with former U of A teammates who now work in various government roles, illustrating the broad impact and network that emerges from the university's economics program.

  
  We are incredibly proud of Selam, Austin, and all our graduates who go on to make meaningful contributions in their careers," said professor Shukayev. "When we see our former students succeeding at institutions like the Bank of Canada and receiving such outstanding recognition from their supervisors, it reinforces our commitment to providing the highest quality economics education."

  
  The visit serves as a powerful reminder of the Department of Economics' reputation for producing graduates who are not only technically proficient but also capable of making immediate, meaningful contributions to their organizations.

• A Graduate Student's Tribute to A Faculty Member

  A former graduate student shares how Melvine McMillan's generosity shaped his time at University of Alberta, leaving an unforgettable legacy.

  Mel McMillan

  Christmas at the McMillans by Junaid Jahangir

  

  I arrived in Canada a quarter of a century ago as a young graduate student and I fell in love with its beautiful people. I use the adjective beautiful to highlight that the people I met said "thank you", held the door for others, respected each other's space, and made one feel welcome.

  Early Support

  When I was struggling to make ends meet, our librarian, Margaret Howell, would help me financially. She would drive her signature purple car and take me to her cozy home where she would shower me with kindness and a sumptuous meal. When I fell sick, the executive admin, Theresa Everest made me large bottles of solid soup. A major highlight of my grad school days remains the Christmas dinners at the McMillans.

  Mel McMillan

  Mel taught me Public Expenditures. While I didn't follow in Mel's footsteps in that area, a paper from his reading list by Oates impacted me greatly. The paper made its point simply without the pretense of abstruse mathematics. Just as that paper did not need unnecessary complexity to make a point, so too Mel didn't have the air of a high and mighty person. Given his formidable wealth of experience and incisive expertise in his field, he didn't need any pretense that academics unsure of their place often display.

  Mel is way above that. The word to describe him in Urdu is sarshaar, which means "overflowing, full, or brimming". While it could refer to being intoxicated, it is used to describe "brimming with love or joy". Such people are rare. They give.

  The Gift of Giving

  Many people in life are takers. They are unsure of their place, and worse, remain insecure even after amassing so much. But Mel and Maureen McMillan give. When one of our graduate students fell gravely sick, Mel and Maureen took her in. They gave her home and care whilst she underwent chemotherapy, which is not a walk in the park.

  Christmas Dinners

  Every Christmas, the McMillans would invite graduate students far away from home. It was a feast, all prepared by Maureen herself. There were mashed turnips and sweet potato, which I specifically loved. Back then I was following dietary restrictions. Maureen had a constellation of food, both turkey and ham, home-made brew, a wide array of desserts. She introduced me to Nanaimo bars. There was something for everyone. The word "inclusive" wasn't in my dictionary back then, but that's exactly what it was.

  I would look forward to the annual Christmas dinners. I specifically enjoyed the cozy home feeling, Christmas music in the background, food that brings people together, and the care and warmth of exceptionally kind hosts. Mel's dashing hero pic as a young man is a sight to behold.

  Family & Memories

  Of course, the McMillans were joined by their daughter, son-in-law and grandkids Moira and Kimberly. Moira must have been around 7 or 8 when I first met her. I still have the snowman she drew for me. I recall teasing her that maybe Mel was Santa in disguise. In retrospect, that was a lousy attempt at connecting with a young child. Today, both Moira and Kimberly are young adults. Moira would now be around the age that I first went to the McMillans.

  Maureen would pack us food and Mel would give some of us a ride back home. Mel has long since retired and Maureen needs care. My own Mom has been dealing with stage 4 cancer since last year and we take it one day at a time. When my grandma passed in 2015, this clip from Kubo and the Two Strings helped me some.

  Moon Beast: Everything you loved is GONE! Everything you knew has been TAKEN from you!

  Kubo: No… it's in the memories. The most powerful kind of magic there is. It makes us stronger than you'll ever be. These are the memories of those we've loved and lost. And if we hold their stories, deep in our hearts … then you will never take them away from us.

  Reflection

  These are trying times whether one is battling with disease at home or the world outside with backsliding democracy, unending wars, or normalized genocide. In all this mess, my mind goes back to happier days. The memories of the kind and generous people I have met in Canada are etched in my mind. It is their kindness that I wish to cherish in times of immense polarization and increasing inequality. And what the McMillans have done for us graduate students can never be repaid and never be forgotten.

Our Students Receiving their Awards

Two Professors Mentored by the 2025 Nobel Laureate in Economics

How do we achieve economic prosperity? Dr. Joel Mokyr shares the 2025 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences "for having identified the prerequisites for sustained growth through technological progress". This prize is well-deserved. The curiosity, hard work, open-mindedness, and keen insight that characterizes Joel's research also characterizes his approach to graduate supervision and academic life in general.

Two department faculty feel extraordinarily lucky to have learned from Joel. Rick Szostak was fortunate to be one of the first students that Joel supervised at Northwestern (PhD 1985). Brendon Andrews was one of the more recent students to be (co-) supervised by Joel (PhD 2022).

We thank Joel for providing great advice, but also for his openness and generosity engaging in extended thoughtful conversations. He is a great scholar and an amazing mentor, who has promoted economic history broadly-defined, contributed forcefully to the joviality of academic life, and provided encouraging input that helped catalyze many academic careers. The profession has advanced through Joel's important research, and the two of us have felt the positive impact of his advice since graduating. We are very pleased that the Nobel Committee has recognized his excellence.
