Join
the Georgia State University Economics Club
What is the club
all about?
The Economics Club at
GSU exists to create a way for students with similar interest to get together
and enhance their undergraduate education, as well as learn more about how to
obtain and be more successful in their careers and/or graduate school after
finishing at GSU.
A Typical Year in
the Club
Speaker Series
Every semester the Economics Club will
be hosting the Speaker Series. We will have one topic per event consisting of a
speaker(s) from the private, public, and/or educational sector(s). The Speaker
Series will comprise of at least 4 forums per semester to last approximately 1
to 2 hours with a Q&A session. Food and beverages will be provided at selected
forums.
Debate Forums
The Economics Club will also be hosting
the Debate Forums. The forum allows members to debate issues facing society and
the ability to learn different perspectives brought to the table by students
with different areas of expertise.
Faculty & Student Mixer
Every Fall Semester we will be hosting a
mixer with the Economics Department Faculty. The purpose of the mixer is to
provide members with the opportunity to become better acquainted with club
officers, members, and the professors who will be teaching our courses. Take the
opportunity to ask members about their experiences at GSU to getting professors’
opinions on virtually anything.
Volunteer Services
The club also participates in various
volunteer activities throughout the semesters. This gives the club and its
members an opportunity to give back to our communities.
Here are a few Reasons Why You should Join
Internship and Job Opportunities
Being a member of the Economics Club
means you get an upper hand on internship/job opportunities by having access to
our database. Professors, local businesses, and government offices will be
submitting opportunities as they become available throughout the year. Access to
this database is a valuable tool in order to increase your competitive edge
before and/or after you graduate.
Networking
The ability to have a venue in which to
communicate with others interested in the same field is beneficial to all
participants. Becoming familiar with each other’s niche will allow members to
further assist one another by passing along any pertinent information that would
further develop another’s individual career path.
Social Gathering
We will have designated days to meet at
the Atlanta Brewing Company for happy hour, attend a Braves, Thrashers, Falcons,
or Hawks game at a discounted rate, and times to play in the sun (Frisbee,
football, soccer, rafting, etc.) Expect to make new friendships that will last
for years to come.
Tutors
We will be compiling a list of
individuals who are interested in volunteering time towards the tutoring of a
specific course. Additionally, we will be creating a medium in which to schedule
study groups in a simple manner.
Who can join?
Any currently enrolled student with a
GPA of 2.5 or above interested in participating in the organization.
