At Occidental, there are many ways to get involved with economics outside the classroom. Check out some of these student-run clubs.
Blyth Fund
The Blyth Fund is a premier six-figure, student-managed investment portfolio. It offers students hands-on experience in investment management and broadens interest in finance among some of Oxy’s most promising of students. Email blythfund@oxy.edu for more information or to get involved.
Economics Student Association (ESA)
ESA aims to improve the student experience in the economics department. We seek to bridge gaps between students, faculty, and alumni of the economics department through a variety of events. Please contact esa@oxy.edu for more information or to get involved.
Occidental Consulting Group (OCG)
Established at Occidental College in 2015, OCG strives to improve the local Los Angeles community by providing pro bono management consulting services to businesses and nonprofit organizations. Get in touch by emailing ocg@oxy.edu.
Occidental Finance Club (OFC)
OFC provides students with opportunities to explore careers in finance while developing practical skills and professional networks. We broaden understanding of financial markets and career paths by hosting workshops, speaker events, and networking opportunities with alumni and industry professionals. Please contact saeed@oxy.edu for more information or to get involved.
Women of Economics (WOE)
WOE brings together women interested or majoring in economics. We want to enhance cohesion among students in the major, provide a clear way for underclassmen to receive support and advice from upperclassmen, and work to close the gap between women who take entry-level economics classes and women who major in economics. Our mentorship program pairs upper/underclassmen and we meet regularly as a group. Please contact woe@oxy.edu for more information.
