UC Economics Society

As a computer science major, I felt like a fish out of water when I joined the Economics Society. Although economics wasn't my main area of study, I was always interested in the subject and saw it as a great opportunity to expand my knowledge.

Joining the economics society is one of the best decisions I made during my college years. It was actually through the economics society that I learned about the Cryptoeconomics lab for the first time. And it is because of the economics society that I decided to add an additional major in economics. I am grateful for the opportunities and experiences I have had with this organization.

Highlights:

- Developed Bearcat Economists, the society's inaugural economics outreach program designed to broaden the local pipeline of economics students and professionals, specifically from historically underrepresented groups and inspire a lifelong love of economics in these students

- Engaged in business case competitions, optimizing workflow efficiencies using real budgets and data from P&G, saving the hypothetical business 1.2 million dollars year-on-year
