The UF University Economics Society meets weekly on Tuesdays at 5:10 pm in Matherly 120. Each week we discuss economic, political, and philosophical issues such as the minimum wage, the war in Iraq, and the morality of the market, and education vouchers. Meetings usually last 1-2 hours. We also bring in guest speakers like Dr. Denslow and Dr. Rush, as well as offer forums for discussion such as posting boards and the new UES blog, Awkward Utopia. Please explore our website for more information about our club, then come out and join us! For more information, contact UES President Amanda Brameister.
 

 
  Spring 2007 UES "class picture" after distribution of the new club t-shirts. The officers and other UES dignitaries are scattered throughout. Then-Treasurer and current VP V. Raj is first on the left, President Emeritus Lotfinia is in the back row with dark coat, then-President M. Redondo sits in the foreground with glasses, then-Historan and current Treasurer J. Neiderriter kneels in front, current President A. Brameister is second from right in front row, while Historian D. Goldfarb is in the back row with glasses against the board. The rest are lunatics.
