Economics Student Society

About

The Economics Student Society (ESS) is a student run organisation that represents all students in the Economics department. We advocate our members interests socially and professionally.

The ESS meets bi-weekly every semester to organise events, seminars and workshops to connect Economics students to fellow students inside and outside the Economics department and with professionals.

Past Events

The ESS has successfully hosted social, academic and professional enhancement events such as our:

G&F Workshop (Every Fall)

Freedom 55 Office Tour (Every Fall)

LinkedIn Workshop (Every Summer)

Pub Nights/Summer Socials (Summer and Spring)
