Student Organizations

Omicron Delta Epsilon

Omicron Delta Epsilon, the International Honor Society in Economics, is dedicated to encouraging excellence in economics. Members work for the advancement of their science, and the scholarly effort to make freedom of want and deprivation a reality for all. Members must have an overall GPA of 3.0 or better, and at least 12 credits in economics with an average GPA of 3.0 or better. The society meets regularly, hosts on-campus presentations by economists, and plans field trips to economic institutions like the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago or the Chicago Board of Trade.

Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE)

Carthage has a chapter of Students in Free Enterprise. SIFE, open to all majors, works throughout the year on projects in six categories: Market Economics, Success Skills, Entrepreneurship, Financial Literacy, Business Ethics, Environmental Sustainability, and Sustainability. SIFE encourages active hands-on learning, teamwork, leadership development, communication, enhancement and educational growth. An annual Regional Competition provides the opportunity for every SIFE organization within the region to present what they have achieved throughout the year.

Model UN

Economics majors are often interested in Model UN at Carthage, a student-run organization that seeks to introduce students to the global issues and the inner workings of the United Nations. Students participate in simulations of the Security Council, General Assembly, and Economic and Social Council. Participants travel to conferences and engage in negotiations and debates about global issues that are being discussed by world leaders today. The organization is for students interested in politics, economics, history, philosophy, geography, the natural sciences, the art of persuasion, or just learning more about other cultures. All majors are welcome.

Student Voices

"If you see a professor walking around campus, they will stop and talk to you, even if you haven't had them since you were a freshman and now you're a senior. They are genuinely interested in your success."

— Chumley Hodgson, '10, Appleton, Wis.
