Economics Club members have met with the president of the Chicago Federal Reserve, the vice president of the Atlanta Federal Reserve, Senator Richard Shelby in Washington, D.C., and world-renowned neurosurgeon and former presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson.

In 2016, Economics Club members traveled to Europe where they visited the European Central Bank and Frankfurt Stock Exchange, toured the Bank of England, met with an economist from the London School of Economics Center for Systemic Risk, and received training and certification at the London Stock Exchange. The club also is active in local community projects.
