The Graduate Students in Agricultural Economics (GSAE) is an organization which promotes the academic, professional and social interests of all graduate students majoring in agricultural economics at Kansas State University.
The organization consists of more than 30 active members who meet once a month to discuss development opportunities, plan social events and establish professional relationships. In addition to monthly meetings, the GSAE hosts bi-weekly social events, monthly breakfast socials with the Agricultural Economics faculty and staff, and hosts Brown Bag seminars.
Annually, GSAE members compete in numerous professional competitions. This year there are two teams from GSAE competing in the International Food and Agribusiness Management Association’s (IFAMA) case study competition this June in Minneapolis. At the Applied and Agricultural Economics Association (AAEA) and Western Agricultural Economics Association (WAEA) joint conference in July in San Francisco, students will participate in the case study and extension competitions and present their research papers and posters. Throughout the year, the members present at other professional and K-State events such as the Risk and Profit Conference.
GSAE strives to not only create a community among our graduate students but to also develop members’ ability to apply economic knowledge and skills to real world agricultural issues.
