Tomorrow is an exciting day at George Washington University – it’s Giving Day (April 4-5, 2023), and I’m reaching out to ask for your support for the GW Investment Institute.
The GW Investment Institute (GWII) teaches GW students how to invest by managing real endowment capital (currently managing over $6.5 million). Our team at GWII is dedicated to providing students with tangible skills and tools that they can leverage to advance their careers.
This Giving Day, your support will enable GW Investment Institute students to have FactSet, an industry tool for financial research. FactSet enables our students to become real-world practitioners of finance, but we need your help. Our current subscription expires at the end of the fiscal year and we ask for your help in securing $30,000 for this excellent investment in our curriculum. Every dollar counts.
How is FactSet used in our classes and what are the benefits of using FactSet?
– Our teaching assistant Trevor Haen shared more about how we currently use FactSet to enhance learning opportunities in finance classes. Please read Trevor’s blog post to learn more.
-Sophomore Will Ahrens reflected on his experience in Phillips Student Investment Fund class in a blog post.
We’re counting on our dedicated alumni and supporters to help us reach our goal and continue to provide our students with resources to help them succeed in their careers. Thank you for your continued commitment to support experiential learning through the GW Investment Institute.
Raise High!
