As part of the Clarence Tow Lecture Series, the Economics Department is hosting a “Principles and Priorities” Federal Budget Exercise, led by Phil Smith, who is the National Field Director at the Concord Coalition. The Concord Coalition is a nationwide, non-partisan, grassroots organization advocating generationally responsible fiscal policy.

Principles and Priorities is an interactive exercise in which participants learn how interesting and challenging it can be to assemble a federal budget.

Topics cover:

Government discretionary spending
Healthcare policy
Tax policy
Defense spending
Social Security

Phil Smith has more than two decades of experience at The Concord Coalition and helped conduct countless seminars, congressional and presidential town hall meetings, and public policy initiatives. He has traveled to all 50 states, delivering speeches to a range of political and civic organizations, colleges, universities, and financial planning groups. He works extensively with the media including appearances on most major television and radio networks.

In addition to his career at the Concord Coalition, Phil served as the Chief Operating Officer for two state government agencies in Georgia: The Department of Community Affairs and the Technical College System of Georgia.

Professor Jonathan Gruber, who is the Ford Professor of Economics and Chairman of the Economics Department at MIT, is our Clarence Tow Public Lecture Series Speaker on the topic of “Health Care Reform Never Ends”.

The Affordable Care Act was the most significant health care reform in the U.S. in half a century, but health care reform is never over. Continued high rates of uninsurance, high health care costs, and poor health care outcomes for many Americans demand continued efforts to improve the U.S. health care system.Professor Gruber will discuss how we got to where we are on health care policy and the central issues facing the U.S. in the coming decade.

Professor Gruber was a key architect of Massachusetts’ ambitious health reform effort. During 2009-2010 he served as a technical consultant to the Obama Administration and worked with both the Administration and Congress to help craft the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. He is also the former Director of the Health Care Program at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and the former President of the American Society of Health Economists.He was rated as one of the top 100 most powerful people in health care in the United States by Modern Healthcare Magazine in 2006 and 2012 and received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2020.

It’s important to know that service animals are permitted on campus and in campus buildings with a few exceptions. To learn more, please read the university’s policy on service animals. For more on accessibility in Pappajohn and on-campus, please visit Tippie’s Accessibility and Inclusion resources page.

ATM Machine

The ATM machine that was previously on the first-floor landing of the stairwell to the parking garage and W10 has been removed.  Our contract for the machine was at its end and to continue to maintain a machine in Pappajohn was going to require a significant fee per year. With the number of transactions at fewer than four per working day, the college simply could not justify keeping the machine. Fortunately, there are many machines available within a few blocks of Pappajohn for those who need them.

Hushbooths

Tippie and the University Libraries recently installed three phone-office booths, known as Hushbooths, for students needing a quiet space to take a call or interview. One is located inside the Business Library next to the Sales Lab, and two are right outside the BizHub near the Professional Headshot Booth on the third floor above the south atrium. Students can use the booths to take virtual meetings and phone interviews without leaving Pappajohn. The near-soundproof booths feature a seat, desk, and power outlets, with the two in the south lobby offering adjustable lighting for the perfect Zoom meeting. At this time, students do not need a reservation to use the booths and can use the spaces whenever they are empty. To maximize the availability, we ask that individuals limit their use to strictly virtual meetings and phone interviews.

The Social Impact Community is looking to hire two Social Impact Interns. The internship will focus on promoting sustainability,  workplace wellbeing, and more, on campus and beyond. Please email a resume and cover letter to mae-mcdonough@uiowa.edu to apply. Applications are accepted until 8/29.
