The Economics and Finance Society is an active student organization at the College of Business and Entrepreneurship. Our focus is to assist in the professional, educational, and social development of students interested in finance and economics. We are committed to paying forward the advice and guidance we have received by helping to develop the next generation of economic and finance professionals from Texas A&M University-Commerce. We want to be your one-stop shop for all your finance-related questions and we want to serve as a resource to you throughout your academic and professional career. We provide guidance as you progress through your degree plan and then beyond the classroom to your chosen career.
First Friday is a learning community that meets for analytics skill training from 6 PM to 8 PM on the first Friday of each month. The purpose of First Friday is to introduce the latest skills highly needed by the job market, but not yet taught in the classrooms.
There are skill training lectures in every First Friday event. Members can join in the lectures on campus, or dial in Google Hangouts online. So, no matter you are an online students or study on campus, First Friday is right for you! There is a designated book for every skill learned on First Friday (Please see the attached PowerPoint). Training lectures are taught by organization members. The faculty advisor assists lecturers during the preparation process.
Class learning is subject to time limit. First Friday intends to fill the gap between classrooms and the job market needs. Enhance your knowledge in the popular skills such as database management (Structured Query Language) and cyber security management.
