Economics Club Activities

Club Members visit the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.  

Members of the Economics Club regularly tour the New York Federal Reserve Bank generally in April.   They meet with Caroline Boyce ’85, who has been at the New York Federal Reserve since graduation and is currently a bank supervisor.  In that position Caroline is responsible for a team of examiners and a portfolio of 30 domestic and foreign banks.  She also participates in technical assistance missions with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

Members also particpate in the Fed Challenge Team that competes each year at the New York Federal Reserve, providing an analysis of Fed policy.
