Founded in 2016, the BU Women in Economics Organization (WEorg) is a PhD student-led organization dedicated to the advancement of women in economic research.
To advance our mission, we are committed to developing a sense of community and mentorship within the department through the following activities:
-
- Distinguished Women in Economics Series
- Presentation Workshops for Job Market Candidates
- Mentoring Workshop for 3rd and 4th year PhD students
All of our activities are targeted at female PhD students in the department, but some of the events are open to a broader audience. We invite you to browse through the site to learn more about each event.
If you have any questions, please contact us at weorg@bu.edu.
