New Option Rep

Professor Robert Sherman is the new undergraduate option rep for economics.  Bob has a PhD in statistics from Yale, and has been on the faculty at Caltech since 1996.  Before that he worked for the phone company (Bellcore).

Professor Sherman is now the person to go to for all your economics option shopping needs.  His office is in 119 Baxter and his e-mail is sherman@hss.caltech.edu.

This is my last official post as the option rep, and I am giving Bob the keys to the blog. —KCB
