Economists for equity at Berkeley Secures $15,000 to fund initiatives

The Department of Economics at the University of California, Berkeley has awarded Economists for Equity at Berkeley a grant in the amount of $15,000 to support the student-led organization’s projects and activities.

This award will be instrumental to BEE’s work on understanding gender and racial disparities in the Economics discipline, supporting women and BIPOC graduate students, and increasing diversity of faculty hires. It will also allow BEE to guarantee funding for initiatives like the High School Outreach and Mentorship Program and the Undergraduate Tutoring Program for at least the next two years, allowing us to build a solid foundation for our new initiatives. 

​A big thank you to the Economics Department for supporting our work!
