In conversations held with the Economics Department's Diversity Committee, SAA advised the Committee to show what economics can offer for underrepresented minority and/or first-gen/low-income students who may have little to no experience with the subject. We advised that this process should happen as soon as possible for first-year students. Well, the Economics Department delivered!
On August 2nd, the Econ Department will be hosting a virtual tour of the department where incoming first-year students will be able to learn about economics and what the Economics Department offers. In addition to an introduction the field of study and a brief overview of what the department offers, you will be able to speak with faculty and current Economics majors about their experiences in economics. Members of SAA will be speaking at the event and taking part in the conversations!
The event will take place from 2pm to 5pm EDT. If you are an incoming student interested, please RSVP at the link provided in the email sent by the department chair, Professor Andrew Samwick.
Welcome to Dartmouth and we hope to see you there!
