Sally Hudson, assistant professor of public policy, education, and economics at the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy located at the University of Virginia, will present “Evaluating Post-Secondary Aid: Enrollment, Persistence, and Projected Completion Effects” as part of the Department of Economics Fall Seminar Series on Friday, November 10, 2017 at 10:30 a.m. in CoB 231.

Hudson earned her Ph.D. in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She is a labor economist who studies recruiting and retention in the public sector. Her recent work analyzes teacher retention in hard-to-staff school districts and the effects of salary schedules on mid-career recruiting. Hudson also conducts randomized evaluations of financial aid programs that aim to improve college access and completion for low-income students. She works extensively with the Poverty Action Lab to promote the use of experiments in evaluating and improving public services.
