Student Activities

Women and Gender-nonconforming Economics Students (WAGES)

Women and Gender-nonconforming Economics Students (WAGES) aims to foster a community for students of underrepresented genders in the economics department. We host events for students to get to know other economics students and department faculty, including social gatherings and study halls. We also aim to uplift the work of women and gender-minority economists and encourage students of underrepresented genders to consider classes, a major, and/or a career in economics. To stay up to date with WAGES happenings, follow us on Instagram at @swat_wages or email knichol1@swarthmore.edu to be added to our mailing list.

Swarthmore QuizBowl

The Swarthmore QuizBowl team participates in several economics-focused events each year, giving economics majors an opportunity to practice economics and finance trivia and meet peers from other institutions.  The team organizes charity fundraisers, helps people audition for TV shows like Jeopardy, and participates in 5-10 trivia tournaments a semester focusing on both economic and non-economic topics.  Swarthmore QuizBowl meets every Sunday at 3pm.  Questions can be directed to Martin Rakowszczyk.
