History
The South Dakota State University Economics Club was organized as a chapter of the Student Section of the American Farm Economic Association, founded in 1910. The club adopted its constitution in 1955 and has maintained records of activity from 1951 through 2012. It was established to promote academic and professional engagement in economics and related social sciences.
The club’s stated goals are to stimulate interest in economics and allied fields, encourage cooperation and mutual support among students in the social sciences, and provide opportunities for interaction between students and professional staff. Membership has included undergraduate and graduate students with interests in economics, as well as faculty involved in teaching, research, and extension within the department.
