Class Note 1994
Issue
Jan-Feb 2020
Happy new year, class of ’94!
I received one piece of alumni news from the College, about classmate Randall Akee. In a recent article on the College website, Randall is featured as a one-time liberal arts undergrad who has gone on to make his mark as an influential faculty member of color. Randall is an associate professor at the University of California, Los Angeles in the department of public policy and American Indian studies, and he is currently spending the year at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., as a fellow in economic studies.
Randall has had a distinctive career, one that showcases the interdisciplinary nature of a liberal arts education, such as he received at Dartmouth. After graduating Randall worked on several American Indian reservations and with Canadian First Nations and Pacific Island nations and he worked in economic development for the state of Hawaii. He has conducted extensive research on the political and economic factors affecting race and ethnic mobility and education attainment. Additionally, he has taught students in the classroom, sharing his insights and encouraging deepened thinking.
He completed his Ph.D. at Harvard University in June 2006. Prior to his doctoral studies Randall earned a master’s in international and development economics at Yale University.
If you’d like to read more about Randall, you will find the article about him and other Dartmouth alumni who are now influential faculty of color at various universities around the country at https://sites.dartmouth.edu/alumnisymposium/alumni-bios.
Please send your updates to me. I need your news!
