We are grateful that our alumni and friends remain connected with our community and continue to support our faculty and students in their academic journeys. We offer a variety of different ways that people can get involved and impact our program here in Economics.
Share your story: Economics @ Work (ECON 208) helps students learn about a variety of career opportunities for economics majors. In each class, one alumna or alumnus discusses their education and career, highlighting how their experiences as a U-M economics student played an active role in shaping their post-graduation paths. Fill out this form if you are interested in speaking.
Mentor current students: Sign up for LSA Connect, a recently-launched mentorship platform available to all LSA students and alumni. If you previously connected with students through EARN (Economics, Alumni Relationship Network), you can continue this valued outreach through the LSA Connect program.
