Who are we?
Women in Economics @ Bentley (WEB) is a network of faculty, current students, and alumni with an interest in supporting women in the discipline of economics and expanding professional opportunity in the field. We strive to reach out to women not yet in the program with the hopes of advancing diversity of thought, background, and experiences to the field of Economics.
Of Bentley's May 2017 graduates, women made up 17% of the Economics-Finance (EF) and 44% of the Managerial Economics (MEC) graduates. Let's help support them and encourage others to join their ranks!

What do we do?
The goal of WEB is to develop an on-campus and online system for linking current students, potential majors, graduates, and professionals to establish a community of engaged economists. We will be providing opportunities to participate in open forums, panel discussions, and conferences on timely topics in the field of economics and the business world more generally.
What can Bentley students do with Economics?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the employment among economists is projected to grow 6% nationwide from 2016 to 2026.
