The Economics department has an active Economics club.  The club has an informal meeting once a month and membership is free and open to all majors.  Activities range from organized community service to visits to the Federal Reserve Bank to organizing city leaders for a local debate.

The department of Economics also has an active chapter of Omicron Delta Epsilon (ODE).  Omicron Delta Epsilon, the International Honors Society in economics, is the world's largest economics honorary society and is dedicated to the encouragement of excellence in economics.  

Omicron Delta Epsilon has six important objectives:

• Recognition of scholastic attainment in economics
• Recognition of outstanding achievements in economics on the part of economists at all levels
• Establishment of closer ties between students and faculty in economics within their own colleges and universities
• Establishment of closer ties between students and faculty in economics on all campuses
• Publication of an official journal
• Emphasize the professional aspects of economics as a career field for service in the academic world, business, government, and international organizations

ODE organizes a wide range of activities including a yearly banquet at which different awards are presented to students based on academic performance.
