Join us on October 17th at 7 P.M. in Fulton Hall 511 for the Careers in Economics. Professor Matt Rutledge and Career Coach Philip Guarino are teaming up to discuss what exactly employers are looking for and effective strategies you should be using when seeking a job. This will then connect to different economic principles to demonstrate the practical nature of economics. Additionally, three BCEA E-board members will share their varied internship experiences and how a background in economics can apply to a wide range of fields.
