Advisory Board

The Advisory Board provides guidance on strategic directions, industry practice, market tenor, and education progress, as well, as providing other feedback to the faculty advisers 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, risk managers, to wealth managers.
