Advisory Board
The Board provides guidance on strategic directions, industry practices, market tenor, and educational progress, as well as, providing other feedback to the faculty advisors and students based on the Board members’ wealth of experience. Equally valuable are the opportunities for students to interact one-on-one with highly skilled, experienced practitioners in the capital markets from brokers, traders, portfolio managers, bankers, to risk managers, and investment advisors/wealth managers.
