Networking Events

Each year, the Economics and Finance Society hosts a variety of events and trips designed to help members build lasting connections—both within the club and across campus. Recent highlights include a 76ers game in collaboration with the American Marketing Association and a joint paintball outing with the WCU Investment Group. These experiences foster professional relationships in a fun, engaging setting. This spring, our Executive Board will also be visiting the New York Stock Exchange.

Guest Speakers

One of the Economics and Finance Society’s goals is to provide valuable insights by hosting guest speakers from top firms and institutions. From professionals at JP Morgan, Vanguard, and Merrill Lynch to alumni working across the industry, these sessions give members firsthand perspectives on career paths, industry trends, and practical advice for success.
