“All of the alumni present spoke movingly about the difference the Institute made to them both personally and academically, as a place that nurtured them as budding scholars, as social critics and as human beings,” said Laura Macdonald, director of the Institute of Political Economy. “They all spoke of the strong sense of community they experienced in their days of the Institute and their fond memories of their professors and fellow students.”
