Engage and learn.
Inquire with the Miller Upton Scholar in an intimate classroom setting
The Miller Upton Scholar is a public intellectual whose distinguished work and influential ideas become the driving force of the annual forum. With many leading scholars also at the forum, the conversation is enriched even further.
Experience a powerful fusion of theory and practice
Students grasp the theories in the classroom, apply them in their senior theses, and connect with prominent scholars in the field to put their liberal arts into practice.
Hear the real deal: from students themselves
The forum has given students lots of experiences to divulge and many tales to tell. Learn more about them.
Since freshman year, I had attended all Miller Upton Forum Keynotes on campus and looked forward to the day when I would be in a room with a Nobel Laureate.
The Beloit Economics Department offers an opportunity not only to study a noted scholar but to question them and ask their advice about everything from grad school to senior theses.
2018 marked the 11th iteration of the massively successful Miller Upton Forum at Beloit, and after a decade of the program, it continues to be one of the most impactful, phenomenal experiences a student can have while studying Economics at Beloit College.
