The 34th Annual Summer Economic Institute for Teachers is a unique opportunity for high school and community college educators to come to Stanford for a week to learn from leading world economists, share resources, and engage in thought-provoking discussions. Educators will leave feeling honored as professionals, intellectually refreshed, and armed with new ideas for their classrooms. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Summer Institute will be held fully online. View the most up-to-date agenda here: Summer Institute Agenda 2021

Thanks to generous sponsors, there is no conference fee to participate!

Speakers at the Summer Institute are all University professors, outstanding economic thinkers, and distinguished teachers. This year's institute will cover a wide range of topics, including rent control, immigration, medical debt, personal finance, and more. The institute will also host Alan Garber as a Thursday afternoon tea speaker. Garber is a physician, health economist, and currently serves as provost at Harvard University.
