What is the Economics Club?
Participating in the
Club is an excellent way for students to learn
more about economics and what one can do with an
economics degree after graduation. The Club also
provides a good opportunity to meet other students
with similar interests and to interact with
members of the Economics faculty informally
outside of the classroom. Students interested in
developing leadership skills are encouraged to
participate in the Club as officers, helping to
plan and organize the various events. Overall,
participating in the Club is a useful and
meaningful extracurricular activity, and all
students interested in economics are encouraged to
join.
Who should
join?
All undergraduate
students interested in economics, whether or not
they are majoring in economics, are invited to
join the Undergraduate Economics Club.
When does the
Economics Club meet?
The Club meets on Wednesdays, 2:00 –
2:50 PM or 3:00 - 3:50 PM, during the Fall and Spring
semesters, in Room 2150 UH. Information
