Have you ever wondered whether economics is right for you?

You may be asking this if:
  • You are exploring what economics is and how it connects to opportunities after college
  • You are exploring economics without personal or family connections in the field  
  • You are unsure about the practical steps to take, and when to take them, when pursuing an economics education
  • You are unsure what level of math preparation is expected in economics  
Here is an opportunity to meet alumni who once asked a similar question and are now thriving in their careers:
  • Krista Kissell ’21, Senior Associate, Graham Partners
  • Selwyn Simpson ’22, Vice President, Lee & Associates
  • Noelle Buckley ’18, Vice President, JP Morgan Asset Management, Real Estate Americas
Each will share their experiences and past roles to help you answer some of these questions and more!

You are encouraged to attend, ask questions, and explore how an economics education translates into a career after graduation.
