New GMU T-shirt Website and Other News

For the first time ever, the GMU Econ Society is proud to present our own apparel for our members and supporters! Our new store is currently at Cafepress .com and can be found here. We only have two designs up as a test now, but we will be surely offering more in the future with different Econ humor etc. Stay posted for more details in the future! Also, be sure to note that the 2008 Public Choice Outreach has been rescheduled to Oct. 9-11. In case you might be wondering what the program is all about, here is what the Center for Public Choice has to say :

The Public Choice Outreach Conference is a program specifically designed for young scholars who are planning professional careers in academia, law, or public policy. The Conference is taught by distinguished faculty, and provides an introduction to public choice. The Conference offers a unique opportunity for graduate and advanced undergraduate students to learn from, and socialize with, some of the most important public choice scholars in the world.

The program is held at Mason, and I strongly encourage all of our members interested to apply. The deadline is August 4 to apply and requires a letter of recommendation from a professor, so getting it done soon would be best. You can find out more info on the Public Choice Outreach as well as find the application here.

Hope you are all having a good summer and look forward to seeing you soon.
