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)
CPA/DAP Workshop
Annual Case Competitions (Every Fall)
Annual Career Night (Every Spring)
This year we are planning on having more office tours and workshops to improve students' technical skills to help them see different career paths with their economics degree.
