WHEN AND WHERE ARE MEETINGS HELD?

Our weekly meetings are held every Tuesday at 7 pm in 208 Business Building.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT MEETINGS?

Every meeting is different, but we regularly have academic presentations, current event discussions, economic simulations, guest speakers (including alumni, recruiters, and professors), and trivia/debate nights!

DO I HAVE TO BE AN ECONOMICS MAJOR TO JOIN?

NOT AT ALL! While many of our members are students in the Economics Department, we have a diverse range of students with different backgrounds and interests. As long as you are interested in Economics, we hope you’ll find a home with us!

CAN I BECOME A MEMBER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEMESTER?

Of course! Everyone is welcome to attend a meeting at any time.

ARE THERE NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES?

Yes! Each semester, the Association holds a Business Mixer where we invite recruiters from various industries to network with our members. Additionally, we hold Information Sessions with recruiters, have an alumni mentoring program, and plan company networking trips to New York City and Washington, D.C.

ARE THERE LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES?

Yes! The Penn State Economics Association offers several levels of leadership opportunities.

Near the end of each spring semester, the Association elects its Executive Board for the following academic year. The Executive Board consists of the President and the Vice Presidents of Communications, Education, Finance, and Outreach.

When the new academic year begins in the fall, each Vice President selects Committee Coordinators, who serve throughout that academic year. The Coordinators then select Associates to serve during the fall semester. Additional Associates may also be selected for the spring semester.

Keep in mind that you must be a dues-paying member to apply for or hold any leadership position. To learn more about our committees, position responsibilities, and current openings, please visit the Apply section of our website.

What does it mean to be a dues-paying member?

Dues-paying members are eligible to attend our Business Mixer, be invited on limited-space trips to New York City and Washington, D.C. based on meeting attendance, apply for Coordinator and Associate positions, and vote or run for an Executive Board position during elections.
