Economics Club

A group of college students attending an Economics Club meeting in a tiered university classroom. Two young women smile at the camera from the front desk, where open laptops and notes are spread out. Other students sit at rows behind them, working on laptops and talking in small groups, with dark windows visible along the right side of the room.

Economics Club

The Economics Club is where Virginia Tech students dig into the ideas behind the headlines and meet the people who make college feel like home. Open to every major, every year, no background in economics required. Come once and see.
