Research Fridays Spring Quarter Project! 

Interested in economic research but not sure where to get started? Join Research Fridays!

The Santa Barbara Women Lawyers (SBWL) has asked for our help to create, distribute and analyze a survey about the salaries and employment of lawyers in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. This is your chance to learn first-hand how data is collected and analyzed!

This group will meet Fridays from 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM throughout Spring Quarter.
