Our Organization
|
Over the past decade, the Department of Economics at New York University's Stern School of Business and College of Arts and Science have evolved into two of the world's leading centers for research and teaching in economics. Complementing this success is the Economics Honors Society, a student-led organization looking to expand interest in Economics by creating events and other opportunities for students outside the classroom.
Since its founding in 2003, the Economics Honors Society has been proud to host numerous leading economists, including Gregory Mankiw and Nobel Laureate Thomas Sargent. Through its Honors Member program, EHS offers further opportunities for a community of students with a collective passion for economics and a global perspective. |

History
In early 2003, Nitin Malla, the founder of the Economics Honors Society, approached John Leahy, a professor of Economics at NYU, about the creation of a society that would afford NYU's best and brightest students exposure to some of the world's most prominent individuals in the field of Economics, Business, Law, and Government. With the help of a panel of distinguished university leaders and faculty in the Department of Economics, Nitin and Professor Leahy assembled a small group of students that would constitute EHS' initial membership.
