Speaker & Industry Events
Hear directly from economists, analysts, and U of A alumni about the work, the field, and the path in.
Economics Students Association
Economics meets Opportunity.
We connect students with industry, ideas, and each other — through speaker events, case competitions, socials, and professional development that take you beyond the lecture hall.
Who We Are
A student-run community built around economics.
The ESA is the home for economics students at the University of Alberta. We exist to bridge the gap between the classroom and the career — bringing together curious students, faculty, alumni, and industry partners.
From fireside chats with economists to case competitions, networking socials, and skill-building workshops, everything we do is designed to help members grow, connect, and discover where economics can take them.
