Student Organizations

Economics Club

            The Economics Department has a well established Economics Club for undergraduate students.  The Club invites speakers to their meetings.  The speakers can be faculty who discuss an economic issue or possibly someone from Career Services to provide job search tips.  The Club takes an annual trip and has social gatherings as well.  Information about the club meetings can be obtained from the Department Administrative Assistant or the officers of the Economics Club.
