UES is an organization established to serve undergraduate students on The Ohio State University's Columbus campus and help them connect with others who share a strong interest in economics.

We connect students with internship and full-time job opportunities. UES frequently hosts recruiters who seek candidates with analytical, quantitative, and computational skills combined with strong leadership and communication abilities. We also invite professors to speak at our meetings so students can learn about groundbreaking research and discover some of the most interesting courses offered on campus.

Throughout the year, UES hosts social events that allow members to connect with one another and share the Buckeye spirit.

Our regular meetings are typically held every Wednesday from 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM in Arps Hall, Room 388 (subject to change). The exact meeting location will be announced through GroupMe and social media.

Besides serving as a platform to discuss and share your interest in economics with other Ohio State students, UES also provides a great opportunity to develop lasting relationships with fellow peers as well as faculty members in the Economics Department. Students can gain insight into the economic research being conducted around campus and learn about potential career opportunities available after graduation.

UES also provides free food at weekly meetings, often catering from different local restaurants.
