Department News: Optimizers' Homepage
Dear Economics Majors and Minors,
The Economics Department has had a Co Rec soccer team called Optimizers for many years. Members include faculty, graduate students and undergraduates, BOTH male and female. The players get together two or three times a month (during each semester) to practice and once a semester to play a game against rivals such as the School of Public Health and the Business School. Free pizza and beverages follow each game. This is just for fun and comradery, so one does not need to be a pro to join.
Come play Soccer with us! Soccer practices are scheduled on Saturday mornings at Candler field (Lower field). We will practice on Saturdays starting 10am. Be on time! The dates for Fall 2009 are:
Saturday, September 26, 10:00-11:15
Saturday, October 3, 10:00-11:15
Saturday, October 24, 10:00-11:15
