Penn’s Undergraduate Economics Society (UES) is a student organization that brings together undergraduates at the University of Pennsylvania that share a common interest in economics and its various facets. Through their participation in UES, Penn undergraduates are afforded a unique space beyond the classroom where some of the most meaningful conversations about economics take place. Thank you for checking out our club, and we look forward to welcoming you to our ever-growing Penn UES family.
