Finance Club kicked off our year with a call-out on Wednesday 9/12. We introduced our exec board and talked a bit about the goals and mission of the club for this school year. We are very excited about our upcoming meetings and speakers and think that this will be a great year.

If you missed the call-out there is no need to worry! We will be having another meeting in two weeks where we will discuss the financial crisis, talk a bit about the capital markets, and cover a few current events as well. We will post the date/time/room for this meeting shortly.
