FACULTY AND GRADUATE STUDENTS PAPERS, PUBLICATIONS AND ACTIVITIES:

Tony Gill presented “Tipping Points: An Economic Defense of Gratuities” to the Competitive Enterprise Institute on Thursday, September 20.  Washington DC was amazingly humid and Tony walked from the hotel to the CEI offices in his suit, resulting in a sweat-drenched shirt.  However, they turned up the air conditioning for him and he almost got hypothermia until eating a salad with chicken.

Tony Gill attended the annual conference of the Rumsfeld Foundation, where he serves in the capacity of a faculty mentor.  Advising did occur and at the opening reception they had the best sliders Tony’s ever eaten.  Seriously, they were delicious.
