Clubs and Honor Societies

Economics Club

UNC Asheville’s Economics Club exists for students 1) to learn about economics beyond what is traditionally taught in the classroom, 2) to network with other students with interests in economics, and 3) to explore career and graduate school opportunities in economics and related fields. To meet these goals, the Economics Club hosts speakers who are experts in the field, hosts forums to create a dynamic dialogue of current economic issues, and supports the surrounding community through ongoing service. Some of our past events include lectures on global poverty, international financial crises, the economics of sports, and the economics of terrorism, as well as informational sessions on Masters in Economics and Public Policy programs and the annual charity bowling event, Bowl for Kids Sake.

We actively encourage students to participate in all of the various activities that the club sponsors. The Economics Club is intended to be an open forum, where all majors are welcome to come share their ideas and interest in all things relating to economics. If you are someone who has this interest, then we hope to see you at our next event!

Inquiries about UNC Asheville’s Economics Club can be directed to the current student president, James Phillips, or the club’s faculty advisors, Dr. Joseph Sulock and Dr. Robert Tatum.
