UNIVERSITY OF THE PACIFIC’S PACIFIC ALUMNI MAGAZINE | SUMMER 2015 REVIEW Moscone A Tribute George R. George COACH PETE CARROLL ’73, ’78: SECRETS TO SUCCESS | FAREWELL TO “THE GREATEST TIGER OF THEM ALL” Courtney Bye Says Hello to Washington, D.C. Pacifi c’s fi rst-ever Nathan Scholar gets unparalleled experience in the world of economics Courtney Bye ’16 is an economics enthusiast and a standout student in the classroom. However, she knows that following her passion to become successful in today’s fast-paced fi eld of global economic development requires much more than just textbook smarts. Thanks to the newly established Nathan Scholars program, Courtney will gain real-world experience this summer through an internship at a top international economics consulting fi rm, Nathan Associates Inc. Courtney is one of the fi rst students to be named a Nathan Scholar, a distinction made possible by the support of the fi rm’s chairman Dr. John C. Beyer ’62. His generous gift funded the scholars program, in addition to creating an endowed chair and fellowship in economics. “I’m looking forward to gaining experience in professional consulting,” Courtney says. “I’m also excited to simply learn how economics can solve some of the biggest problems we face around the world.” Courtney and her fellow inaugural Nathan Scholar Kaya Dantzler are documenting their experience on the College of the Pacifi c blog. Follow along at go.Pacifi c.edu/NathanScholars. This experience would not have been possible without the generosity of Dr. Beyer, who has given more than $2.5 million to the University with the aim of deepening appreciation for applied economics.
