This student-run club is both a social and academic organization. We have several meetings per semester where we participate in a variety of events: speakers, career planning and placement forums, papers presented by students and faculty. In addition, the Economics Club is the center of several extracurricular activities most notably the Christmas Party, and Economics Golf Invitational. Students have taken the initiative to seek out Student Senate funding for various projects and have participated in service projects throughout the Dubuque community: most notably, volunteering to work at the arboretum in the spring and fall semesters and for the Spring Clean Up Campaign.
