In fall of 2005 the economics department organized a panel to discuss the effects of Hurricane Katrina.

 

In fall 2006 the Economics department organized a debate on the Stem Cell Initiative which was a controversial election issue.

 

In spring 2007, the economics department actively participated and organized two economics panels at the University sponsored Public Affairs conference.
