Aiden Lee

Aiden Lee worked as an EGC Communications Intern where he worked on the EGC History Project, researching academic contributions of EGC faculty of past decades and writing articles. After graduating in 2022, he moved to Washington, D.C. to work as a research assistant at the Council of Economic Advisors at the White House before applying to PhD programs in economics.

EGC was a big part of my introduction to economics research at Yale, and I could not be more grateful for it. It has been a wonderful community, and it is where I learned how economics can be used to help uplift communities across the world. – Aiden Lee

Aiden worked with us at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, and our frequent meetings on Zoom that year were high points of my week. He accomplished an impressive amount of research on EGC history while he was with us, and his writing was excellent: his profile of Nancy Birdsall is one of the most-visited pages on EGC's website. We wish him the very best in his exciting next step! – Vestal McIntyre, Senior Staff Writer and Communications Specialist
