What are others saying about the UNO Center for Economic Education?

"The Center of Economics Education at UNO has completely transformed economic education at my school. Their professional development opportunities and events for students are an integral part of my curriculum. In the last few years I have seen incredible growth in economic thinking in my classes as well as overall performance.

Economics can be a very intimidating subject both for an instructor and for a student, and the Center of Economics Education has completely reversed that feeling. I personally went from being nervous to teach the subject and lacking confidence in the content, to now considering economics my strongest subject as a teacher. Much of this confidence came from the tools and guidance provided by Dr. Wagner, who has become an incredible resource for my career.

Lastly, I have seen a marked increase in students who are considering careers in economics which is a testament to the center's work in promoting these careers through their events held at UNO."
