Mitchell Named to Bush Commission

Olivia Mitchell Professor Olivia Mitchell has been appointed to President George W. Bush's 16-member, bipartisan commission on Social Security. The commission, created in May, is charged with devising a plan for workers to invest retirement dollars in the stock market – the most sweeping change Social Security has faced since its inception 66 years ago.

The publication ranks 100 MBA programs according to 20 criteria, including diversity of faculty and students, research, alumni salaries, and alumni career progression.

Mitchell, the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans Professor of Insurance and Risk Management, is internationally known for her research on global social security and pension reform. She is the co-author of Prospects for Social Security Reform, published in 1999 by the University of Pennsylvania Press, as well as numerous scholarly articles on the economics of pensions, annuities, and retirement wealth, among other subjects.
