Last month, the Society of Economics and Finance (SEF) hosted an event called “Brunch with the Professors.” This event is an opportunity for students to get to know each other and their professors outside of the classroom while enjoying some free food from Panera Bread. This event was started last fall as an effort to create new and engaging events on campus while increasing the popularity of the club. Professors in attendance included Dr. Golebiewski, Dr. McGurk and Dr. Rogers. There were about 15 students as well. The club is open to business majors and anyone interested in finance and economics!
This month, the club will be hosting a public speaking competition on Wednesday, Nov. 20, at 5 p.m. in Regis, which is open to all majors, undergraduate and graduate students; and SEF would like to formally invite you to participate in this competition. SEF decided to hold this event after their president attended a similar one at the University at Buffalo. Topics aren’t always announced in advance but some may include Sustainability and Artificial Intelligence. Students will be able to debate or present on various topics within the business sector. The judges are recruiters from various businesses, such as Enterprise, M&T and Northwestern Mutual. This competition will give students the opportunity to stand out to recruiters and win some prizes, such as Sabres tickets.
SEF is looking to foster community among finance and economics students so they can support each other in upper-level classes when the curriculum becomes harder. Besides the public speaking event, SEF is hoping to have other large interactive events, such as a networking event with different firms this spring, and potential site visits.
