Micro Today, Major Tomorrow: Advising with Impact

Today’s students are asking bigger questions than ever about their future, and many economics instructors are finding themselves at the center of those conversations.

How do we help undecided students connect economics to meaningful careers?
How do we move beyond theory and help students see possibility?
And how can advising conversations build confidence instead of uncertainty?

Join Seattle Pacific University’s Dr. Geri Mason for a practical, discussion-driven webinar designed for economics faculty who want to help students make more informed, confident decisions about their future.

Through real advising experiences, perspectives, and actionable strategies, we’ll explore how economics instructors can:

• Help students better understand the value and versatility of an economics degree.
• Connect classroom learning to real-world careers and transferable skills.
• Support undecided students through exploration, not pressure.
• Use storytelling and real outcomes to spark meaningful conversations about the major.

Whether you advise formally or simply have students stopping by after class asking “What can I do with this degree?”, this session will provide approachable ideas and resources you can immediately bring into your classroom and advising conversations. Because sometimes helping students choose economics starts with helping them see themselves in it.
