What does the Econ Club do?
The Econ Club sponsors a number of social and academic events during each
semester. These events are often centered around presentations by guest

world. Topics of recent Econ Club symposiums include "The Global Economy," "Adventures South of the Border
- The Mexican Economy," "Yankee Economics," "The Economics of
Trick-or-Treat," and "The Uruguay Round Debate." The Econ Club is also
known for the great food we serve at our social hours following the
presentations. In addition to hosting our regular symposiums, the Econ
Club is active in promoting the economics curriculum and major here at
MSU. We are involved in designing and distributing recruiting materials
