GW Giving Day is less than a month away! Our alumni advocate Austin Lai, BBA ‘22 shared some highlights from our classes.
Austin was enrolled in the Phillips Student Investment Fund class and the Venture Capital class with the GW Investment Institute during his time at GW. Mr. Lai is a Business Technology Solutions Analyst at Deloitte.
“The classes I took with the GW Investment Institute were invaluable for my personal and professional growth. Through encouraging critical thinking, providing ample opportunities for public speaking, and facilitating hands-on, experiential learning, they helped me grow as a student and prepared me for my career. Of all the classes, Foundations of Venture Capital was particularly unique. In this class, I was able to develop a start-up idea with my peers and participate in the GW New Venture Competition without taking on any risk, sparking my interest in fintech-related engagements at Deloitte. I urge you to donate to and support the GWII on GW Giving Day so that current students can benefit from these exceptional classes and experiential learning opportunities.”
