 Hi everyone, it's Majors Week and we're here to introduce ourselves and why we chose Econ as our major. So I'm Vera, I'm a senior public health and econ double major, and I'm from Long Island, New York. I'm Emily, I'm a senior in economics and I'm from She's Very Mass. And I'm Alvin He, I'm a senior econ major and also a psych minor from Grafton Mass. So what made you guys want to be an econ major? So I actually came to UMass undecided under public health. And then once I declared public health as my primary major sophomore year, I was really looking into something more like healthcare administration. So I really wanted that economics background. So sophomore year I declared it as my secondary major, and I really loved the flexibility of it and how I could get it all done in the four years that I was at UMass and kind of like combined my public health and econ classes. How has the department kind of helped you guys for your future plans? Yeah, definitely. I would say that economics has been really great and giving like a really broad understanding and just business and a lot of things in general. And also it frees up a lot of free time for you to be able to take other minors or other classes, join a lot of clubs and also get really engaged and have a lot of different work experiences. What kind of classes or professors have you guys liked? I think one of my favorite professors was Linda Pickhorn. She teaches economics 103. She was my first professor in the econ department and I was originally bio. She made me want to switch to economics because she was such a good teacher and just inspired us to like want to learn the content. No, I really loved that class too. Do you guys have any advice for incoming students? I'd say definitely get involved, use your resources, try things outside of the economics department and definitely reach out to your professors. What do you guys do outside of the major at UMass? Yeah, so outside of it, I'm also a contact tracer for the Public Health Promotion Center at UMass and I also hold a vice president position in my sorority. How about you, Alvin? I work for a team positive presence and also do the econ advising as well as currently I'm working for Dell as a campus ambassador and also I'm co-president of the UMass Entrepreneurship Club, so I like working on startups and ventures. Awesome. So if you guys have any other questions, feel free to reach out to any of us or come to any of our office hours for peer advising. We have open ask anything sessions most days a week. Awesome. Thank you. See you there. Bye. Bye. Thanks. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
