What Are Our Goals? ||
The Undergraduate Economics Association seeks to enhace the experience
of undergraduate economics students on the U.C. Berkeley campus via
pre-professional, pre-graduate, academic, and social activities. The
Association helps its members further their interests in economics and
expose them to possible future career opportunities. In addition, the
UEA promotes interactions amongst undergraduates, graduates, alumni,
faculty, and professionals through various professional receptions,
talks, educational forums and workshops. To better focus the UEA objectives,
the Association is divided into several committees composed of members
and led by appointed directors.
|| What Does UEA Offer? ||
Check out our Events page.
|| Why should I join UEA? ||
Becoming a member of UEA, you are entitled to many advantages over non-members.
We subsidize various events throughout the year for our members such
as our Mondo Gelato social where members received free ice cream. Being
a member also entitles you to be added to our mailing list so that you
can be updated with all of the exciting events that UEA organizes. There
are also exclusive events where only members on the mailing list will
be notified. In addition, you will receive access to our finals exam
archive that includes sample finals from popular economics classes.
You will also receive a membership card that shows that you are now
a member of UEA.
|| How Can I Join? ||
To become a member, please fill out the membership forms that can be
downloaded online UEA Membership Form or obtained from Sandy Jaeger's
office (543 Evans Hall), or received at any of our general meetings.
Turn the membership forms in along with a payment of $20 during our
general meetings or to 543 Evans Hall and you will become a lifetime
member of UEA. Members will receive a discount on social events. Of
course, all our events are open to everyone, but we hope you will show
your support for UEA's efforts to serve the undergraduate economics
community by becoming a paid member.
|| How can I get involved? ||
UEA gives its members a unique opportunity to impact the events that
occur because members who are active can easily join one of the four
committees. The Academic Affairs committee would work closely with the
AA co-chairs in organizing study groups, professor chats on current
events, and the graduate school forum. The Professional Affairs committee
would work closely with the PA co-chairs to organize professional workshops,
forums, and office tours for our members and the campus as a whole.
The Social Committee would assist the social co-chairs in organizing
exciting socials for our members. And, the marketing committee would
assist the marketing co-chairs in implementing their marketing strategy
to spread the word about UEA. It's easy to be just a member of the club,
but the more dedication you put into the organization, the more you
will be rewarded.
|| What kind of events do you guys put on?
||
The events that occur differ from semester to semester because many
of the events are decided by the committee members (that's you!). However,
there are a few events that are put on every year. We organize the New
Major's Party for new Economics majors, we are in charge of the graduate
school forum, we organize the career options for economics majors, and
we co-sponsor the career fair with the career center.
