Promoting Achievement and Diversity in Economics - Apply by Aug. 1st!

The Department of Economics is currently accepting applications for the third cohort of students in a Department Initiative called Promoting Achievement and Diversity in Economics (PADE).  PADE is a year-long program that offers advising, academic support, and professional development opportunities. Participants will attend weekly study sessions for economics and math classes and occasional seminars with faculty or professional economists in the DC area. PADE is designed to increase diversity in economics by supporting traditionally under-represented students who major in economics, particularly those exploring the BS degree, and those who are considering graduate study in economics or a related field. By providing resources and personalized advising that are not typically available in large majors, PADE will enhance your educational experience and help you clarify and achieve your academic goals.

If you are interested in participating in PADE, please contact Jessica Goldberg (Goldberg@econ.umd.edu) for more information. You can apply to participate in the program by completing this form. Applications are due by August 1st.
