In addition to staffing undergraduate and graduate courses in economics, the Center develops seminar-based opportunities for students to learn about capitalism and classical economics through engagement with the great thinkers in the history of liberty and free society.
Workshops and seminars
The Economics for Opinion Leaders (EFOL) program is a series of one or two-day, face-to-face or virtual, web-supported seminars on economics-related topics for Wisconsin and Midwest opinion leaders – journalists and the media, clergy, health care professionals. The goal is to increase understanding of free enterprise and enable these parties to responsibly share that knowledge with the groups they serve.
The Economics for Teachers program is a series of two-day, face-to-face or virtual, web-supported seminars on economics-related content for Wisconsin and Midwest teachers.
The Teaching Economics in American History, Civics and Government workshops are designed to strengthen the ties between economics and history, civics and government. These dynamic, interactive workshops are aimed at American history, economics and civics teachers at the middle and high school level. This comprehensive program provides from Wisconsin and the Midwest the instructional tools needed to bring the economic way of thinking to through other important social studies courses.
