I'm staying on at FEE through the fall semester, and a lot of changes are going to be happening around here with Larry Reed coming in as the new president. So I feel like it would almost be best to hold off on a cumulative review of how things have gone until I'm actually done.<BR/><BR/>But as a quick answer to your questions, I'll just say that I started here at the beginning of June, and so had the opportunity to go to all six of FEE's seminars this summer. Overall, I think they went extremely well, and I was really happy with the kinds of lecturers we were able to bring in. It was really awesome getting to meet some of the most important people in the libertarian movement, including some of my personal heroes like Peter Boettke and Roderick Long. <BR/><BR/>I definitely think that as an intern, I got a particularly great opportunity to really get to engage the professors who came to visit, and I definitely learned a lot. The intellectual atmosphere among the staff members was really high, especially since we had an incredible resource in Geoffrey Lea hanging out with us every day. Everyone was really cool and laid back, and we had a really awesome summer. <BR/><BR/>Now that the summer sessions are over, though, most of the other interns have left (one, Tom Duncan of a San Jose masters in economics, signed on as FEE's research fellow), and some of the staff is going to be changing with Larry's arrival. So no one's really sure exactly how this fall is going to go, least of all me. I suppose it would be best to wait until I can say something concrete rather than speculative, so I'll just leave it at that.Danny Shaharhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16781136797017833336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2473166537823294555.post-4396456439305548192008-08-20T17:23:00.000-04:002008-08-20T17:23:00.000-04:00Didn't you want to post something about your FEE experience?
