This conference will provide undergraduate economics students with information on the range of career paths open to them and a forum to discuss the importance of having a variety of perspectives in the field of economics. Attendees will hear how economists' personal experiences and perspectives have influenced their paths and the projects they have chosen. Students will also have the opportunity to ask questions of economists who are currently working in different areas of the profession and to network with fellow students and recent college graduates who are working in the field of economics.

The event is being hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond in partnership with Undergraduate Women in Economics (UWE), and the Robins School of Business at the University of Richmond.

The conference is free of charge, but advance registration is required. Please contact Sarah Gunn.
