Graduate Economics Club

The Graduate Economics Club (GEC) organizes the department’s social events (happy hours, barbecues, and skit party) as well as other miscellaneous events throughout the year that foster a welcoming academic environment in the Princeton Economics Department. We also represent the graduate student body during meetings with faculty each semester to discuss potential improvements and steer the direction of the program. Faculty, staff, and graduate students are all members of the GEC. We hope that you enjoy this year’s events!

For Current Students

Current students can download a guide (PDF) with helpful resources for current graduate students. The guide was produced by the Graduate School’s Access, Diversity, and Inclusion team and includes information about academics, teaching, writing, professional development, housing, mental health, and more.
