Abstract: This article’s authors present a programmatic blueprint of the first-of-its-kind collaborative among student economics clubs across colleges in a large metropolitan area, bringing together a community of student leaders, faculty advisors, administrators, and economics professionals, who brainstorm, build support networks, and expose students to diverse economics careers. The authors first explain the motivation for, mission, and structure of the Southeastern Economics Collaborative. Second, they describe the implementation strategy developed and tested over three years by a group of student leaders, professional mentors, and faculty advisors from three colleges to broaden their events, reaching over 1,170 registered participants, including more than 970 students. Lastly, they share what they learned, including attendance data with participant feedback, and outline their next steps based on the experience.
