Small-but-mighty Demography Department finds new support in collective alumni effort

Students, faculty, and alums have been organizing a private dinner during the Population Association of America’s annual meeting for half a century. Driven by these personal connections, 13 other prominent demographers agreed to sign a letter with Carlson asking fellow alums and faculty to help launch a new endowment fund.
