How To Contact Me

Graduate program inquiries. As of this writing (2023) I am the Director of Graduate Studies for our department. If you’re interested in our graduate program, please read this first. My standard response to informational inquiries about the graduate program is a short email with information found on that page. You can save some time by clicking the link now.

Twitter. You can tweet at me @LanceBachmeier. I’ve mostly left Twitter, but I do check it from time to time, and I’ll eventually see something that shows up in my notifications.

Email. You can send an email to my work address.

Textbook sales/attempts to get money out of students. Any email messages you send to me in this regard will be immediately deleted. I’m too busy to read the 482nd set of marketing materials someone sent me this month. If you’ve sent me more than three pieces of email, I almost certainly have a filter that deletes your messages automatically. I don’t care about your product.

Just in case you’re wondering, I’m not interested in meeting with you to discuss a principles of macroeconomics textbook that I can use in my graduate time series course, and I’m not going to schedule a 20 minute phone call to talk about my teaching needs. I make exceptions for anyone paying my standard consulting rate of $250/hour, billed in one hour increments, as long as payment is made in advance.

Snail Mail. You can send snail mail to:

By Phone. Just kidding. Please don’t do that. The bottom dwellers from Top Hat call me, interrupt me while I’m preparing for class, and try high-pressure sales tactics, even though I’ve repeatedly told them to stop. If you’re a low-life like Top Hat, I promise to treat you the same way.
