Mizzou Economics salutes our all-star department assistant, Pam Gerth (left), and fiscal officer extraordinaire, Sue Leutschaft (right). Over the past year, they have kept the department running smoothly through lock downs, pandemic, budget crises, crumbling infrastructure and incursions of feral critters into the building. Pam and Sue exhibit everyday excellence by navigating the Kafkaesque university bureaucracy with efficiency and aplomb; their resilience, good-humor and can-do attitude inspires us all. We are so lucky to work with you: Thank you, Pam and Sue!
