Below is a description of the events we regularly host:

Free Tutoring
The EUB provides free tutoring hours daily for ECON 200/201 and ECON 300/301. Many tutors are also willing to help with specific 400-level courses that they have taken. See tutoring schedule for more information!

The Economizer
This is the EUB’s quarterly newsletter, written by our very own members. Topics vary, so pick up a copy at the end of each quarter in the main office or read it online!

Paul Heyne Seminar
Every quarter, the EUB organizes the Paul Heyne Seminar, a department event where a professor speaks about a topic in economics. In the past, we’ve had the honor of hearing Professor Ali Karimirad on Limited Liability in an Input-Output Economy and Professor Tony Gill on the Economics of Gifting.

Spring Networking Event
Every year, the EUB hosts an event for ECON undergraduates to network with industry professionals and UW Economics alumni. This will be an open forum style event for undergraduates to ask questions related to post-graduation and careers within discussion circles they are assigned to. These circles last 20 minutes at a time; afterwards, the students will move to the next industry professional that they’re with. This will not be a career fair, so there is NO need to bring a resume or cover letter. The dress code will be business casual.

Annual Departmental Survey
The EUB surveys students in 300 and 400-level courses each year to find out more information about student concerns and trends. Results are available online.

All schedules for events will be sent to the econmajor listserv, as well as being posted on our website and advertised by professors. Keep your eyes out for these great opportunities!
