Spence began by recounting the advice he had received, as a first-year assistant professor, from a very wise older colleague: "If you're teaching something that's highly technical or mathematical [in my field, which is Economics], wear jeans and a T-shirt.

The GSB's strategy for the future, Spence related, is to remain relatively small, but to increase faculty size from 85 to 95 or 100, to facilitate a more labor-intensive international and global research and course development agenda as well as some growth in executive education.
