UES develops competency, community and leadership in economics in DC from our headquarters at George Washington University.Through out keystone membership development program, we channel resources to our members while creating and refining core competences in professional and practical areas. Participating students leave with polished professional presences, research skills, and a strategy for truly engaging with the district.We also offer research experiences through out "in house" think tank, the Economics Research Institute, which offers internships and research experiences through multiple thematic programs and projects each semester. Finally, members have the opportunity to develop and submit school and ERI research to the organization's two peer-reviewed publications, the Capitol Economics Journal and the Journal of International Political Economy.
