We may be just about halfway through the fall semester, but there is still plenty of time to get involved by attending some of the upcoming BCEA events! Here’s what to look out for in the month of October:

Join us on October 17th at 7 P.M. in Fulton Hall 511 for 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 searching for a job. 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.
