Student Organizations
The department supports several student-run clubs that provide learning and social opportunities to students: the Economics Club, the Women in Economics Club, the Federal Reserve and Fiscal Challenge Club, and DELTA.
Economics Club
The ND Economics Club is committed to enhancing the experience of economics students. While working closely with the economics department, the club offers a series of informational panels, career events, faculty lectures, and social events throughout the year.
The club's primary objectives are to:
- Stimulate discussion and interest in current research and issues in economics
- Offer opportunities that extend learning outside the classroom
- Promote fellowship between students as well as between students and faculty
- Publicize career opportunities for economics students in industry

Women in Economics
The Women in Economics Club serves as a supportive network for economics majors and regularly hosts talks from faculty in the department and other social events. The club is open to all students. For more information, please contact the club advisor, Eva Dziadula (edziadul@nd.edu).
Federal Reserve and Fiscal Challenge
The Federal Reserve and Fiscal Challenge Club offers students an opportunity to work on practical policymaking in a competitive environment. Co-advised by Professor Forrest Spence of the College of Arts & Letters and Professor Jason Reed of the Mendoza College of Business, the club participates in the Federal Reserve Challenge each fall semester and the Fiscal Challenge competition each spring semester. The club has won the national title in the Fiscal Challenge competition five times (2017, 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2023).
Discovering Econometrics: Learning Through Application
Discovering Econometrics: Learning Through Application (DELTA) develops students’ abilities to apply the quantitative tools used by economists and data scientists. In weekly student-led meetings, participants learn a topic with cross-disciplinary applications and apply it to real-world problems.
