Dedicated to increasing diversity and inclusion in the Harvard Undergraduate Economics department
Our main purpose is to promote diversity and inclusion in economics and encourage students from underrepresented groups to explore an interest in economics. We strive to collaborate with different organizations to bring together the tools and resources necessary to succeed in this endeavor.
To achieve our mission of encouraging diversity in economics, HUIE works towards the following four goals: promoting community, encouraging undergraduate involvement in economics research, and spearheading peer and graduate mentorship programs.
Fostering a sense of community and providing support for students studying economics, especially those from underrepresented groups
Debunking stereotypes about economics, exposing students to the diversity of economics research topics, and offering examples of career options available for economics students
Complementing the department's advising programs by creating peer mentoring opportunities with a focus on empowering underrepresented groups
Organizing mentorship opportunities between undergraduates and graduate students and alumni
Below is an updated calendar of our events. We would love to see you at some of them! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach us via email.
