St. Norbert College will hold a free virtual State of the Economy event on Wednesday, Feb. 17, at 8:30 a.m. To register, go to http://snc.edu/go/stateoftheeconomy.
Presented by the Center for Business & Economic Analysis (CBEA) at the college’s Donald J. Schneider School of Business & Economics, the event is designed both for area professionals looking for more economic data ahead of executing their business planning and for individuals who are generally interested in the state of the country’s economy.
Marc Schaffer, associate professor of economics and director of the CBEA, will be joined by students of the Schneider School in presenting an in-depth look at factors affecting the economy. Key topics will include gross domestic product, unemployment and inflation, and major economic changes with short-term effects.
In addition, this year’s address will feature special guest Christine Loose, Vice President of Lodging and Wellness at Kohler Co. and a St. Norbert College alumna.

Loose will examine the economic impact of the pandemic on tourism at both a global and regional level.

The CBEA was created to foster partnerships between the college and local business and nonprofit communities.
