Our Mission
We Are Harvard’s Primary Undergraduate Economics Association
The Harvard Undergraduate Economics Association (HUEA) strives to create a more inclusive economics community at Harvard and beyond. We believe economics has much to contribute in making sense of the major issues that face our generation.
Our Initiatives
This year, HUEA is committed to achieving 3 key goals:​
-
Undergraduate Opportunities: Fostering more initiatives centered around undergraduates to explore and succeed in a career in economics.
-
Community: Creating more opportunities to socialize with fellow HUEA members alongside economics-related organizations at Harvard and other schools.
-
High School Engagement: Strengthening ongoing economics competitions that aim to provide high schoolers a chance to practice and showcase their economics skillset.
​
We aim to fulfill these goals through our core programs listed below:
1. Competitions
Plan and host an essay writing competition and in-person quiz bowl competition for high school students world wide.
2. Speaker Series
Coordinate forum events such as speaker events, debates, panel discussions, networking sessions, and workshops
3. Volunteering
Teach critical personal finance skills to underserved communities in the Boston areas
Competitions
Looking Back on
HPEC 2025
Each year, HUEA organizes the Harvard Pre-Collegiate Economics Challenge (HPEC), a prestigious international competition for high school students passionate about economics and its role in the world around us. HPEC challenges students through a series of individual and team rounds on economics knowledge at the Advanced Placement Microeconomics and Macroeconomics levels as well as economic news, history, recent research, and applications in a wide variety of fields such as education and the environment.
