The Student Government Association (SGA) has recently approved the Economics Club, welcoming all students eager to explore economics beyond their major. The club aims to foster a vibrant community where creative minds from various disciplines gather to learn and engage in economic discussions.
“It is open to anyone and everyone, to econ majors or even creative writing majors,” said Emilia Fedasz, the club’s head of PR and marketing. Justin Kwok, the vice president, reiterated the club’s commitment to inclusivity, encouraging students from all fields to join and participate in discussions about economics and its real-world applications.
President Matthew James highlighted the diverse backgrounds of interested students, noting many come from political science and medical studies, reflecting the interconnectedness of economics with various aspects of society. The club has seen a significant interest, with 30 sign-ups at the involvement fair and over 50 expressing curiosity.
Students can engage with the Economics Club by attending events, reaching out to E-board members, or contacting faculty advisor Dr. Wesley Pesh. Additionally, general meetings and the club’s Instagram page are excellent resources for learning more about upcoming activities.
The semester promises exciting events, including a panel discussion with scholars from the American Enterprise Institute and a field trip to the New York Federal Reserve. James expresses pride in securing notable organisations to participate and creating opportunities for students and professors to engage meaningfully outside the classroom.
Fedasz acknowledges the successful launch of the club, pointing out the rigorous process it took to gain SGA recognition. The club aims to ignite passion for economics among students and ensure its sustainable future through active participation from underclassmen.
Both James and Kwok emphasise their vision for a lasting legacy, hoping future students inherit a thriving Economics Club that continues to make an impact. Students are encouraged to stay informed by following the club’s Instagram, @shueconomicsclub, to catch the latest developments and events.
