eConnect

The Kautz-Uible eConnect program fosters a supportive community of economics students and alumni at the University of Cincinnati.

By providing expert guidance, sharing practical advice, and opening doors to professional opportunities, our alumni play a vital role in empowering the next generation of leaders in economics as they navigate their time at UC and prepare for their own career journeys after graduation.

Through the eConnect program, we:

Provide mentoring opportunities and special events that prepare students to be highly successful professionals in a constantly evolving workforce.
Connect alums and students through mentorship and networking opportunities.

Stay tuned for more details on our upcoming eConnect events in the 2026-27 academic year.
