What is the Temple Economics Society?
Temple Economics Society is a Student Professional Organization committed to offering students the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the economics discipline, while providing a forum for discussion of specific issues of interest, and the exploration of future career possibilities.
Our goal is to bring together students with like interests in the field of economics to develop both analytical, and qualitative professional skills. We are planning many great events that will broaden the learning experience by incorporating real world guest speakers, group trips to economic/financial establishments, and career networking opportunities. The Society’s recent events included trips to the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, the World Bank in Washington, D.C., Eastern Economics Association Meeting and guest speakers such as Robert J. Shiller, the Stanley B. Resor Professor of Economics from Yale University.
Members of the Temple Economics Society do not need to be economics majors, but must have a genuine interest in economics and associated topics.
