David Jacho-Chávez Recipient of 2021 Eleanor Main Graduate Faculty Mentor Award from the Laney Graduate School
The Laney Graduate School is proud to announce Dr. David Jacho-Chávez as the 2021 recipient of the Eleanor Main Faculty Mentor Award. The award is named in honor of the late Eleanor Main, a transformative leader at Emory and a devoted advocate for graduate education. It recognizes individuals who exemplify mentoring of the highest quality in graduate education.
Since 2011, Professor David Jacho-Chávez has played a critical role in providing a positive experience for doctoral students enrolled in the LGS Economics doctoral program. Jacho-Chávez has generously dedicated his time, knowledge, and resources to foster lasting bonds throughout the four existing cohorts.
Students in the Economics program not only attest to Jacho-Chávez’s commitment to their success but his willingness to make himself accessible when they are in need. For former student Dr. Alexander Lundberg, Jacho-Chávez’s generosity with his time made a tremendous impact. “Having witnessed his work ethic firsthand, I know how valuable his time is,” Lundberg states. “We would practice interview on the weekends, or at his home if [necessary].” Because of this investment, Jacho-Chávez was able to help Lundberg secure an Assistant Professor position at West Virginia University. Lundberg concludes, “When I reminisce about my time in graduate school, I cannot think of Emory without thinking of David. To say I owe my academic career to him would only be a small exaggeration.”
