A poster session of research projects by students from UMD, the College of Saint Scholastica (CSS), and the University of Wisconsin Superior (UWS) will take place from 7–8 a.m. Approximately 15 UMD Labovitz School of Business and Economics (LSBE) students are participating in the poster session.

Hattie Ecklund, a current Bureau of Business and Economic Research’s (BBER) undergraduate research assistant, will present on economic indicators and how nonprofits affect the REIF economy. Through her position as a BBER undergraduate research assistant and as a senior majoring in economics at LSBE, Hattie has worked on projects related to regional economic development and international trade. Interested in issues such as sustainable development and community revitalization, Hattie hopes to work in a position where she can make a tangible impact in the areas she cares about.
