Rock Bottom? Economic Panel Discussion

Last Wednesday, the SU College Republicans hosted an economic panel discussion titled, "Rock Bottom?" The intent was to gather a few professors, and a small business owner to discuss the state of the economy. We had begun planning this months ago, and it was actually the first event that the Sweeney Administration was responsible for hosting.

As a club, we came up with questions for the panelists in three categories - general economic issues, how college students are affected and a future outlook. Now standing a week or so removed from the event with adequate hindsight, I can say I could not be happier. The turnout was significant (end count was 55+ students, professors, members of the community) and the discussion was thought-provoking and valuable. As with most of our SU Republican events, I was behind the camera taking photos. One is posted here, the rest are available on the SUR Site.
