BFI Student Event: Celebrating the Foundations of Economics

With Pie Day right around the corner, BFI is celebrating with pizza, prizes, and a nod to the foundation of economics.

Join fellow students for a casual lunch celebrating the 250th anniversary of Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations, the foundational text of modern economics.

Drop by anytime between 12:00 and 2:00 PM to grab a slice, connect with peers, and test your knowledge of Adam Smith with flash trivia rounds at 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM. Winners will take home BFI swag.

All students are welcome to come and go as your schedule allows.
