Robert K. Wilmouth Speaker Series
The Robert K. Wilmouth Speaker Series provides the platform for students to listen, learn, and develop a passion for investing. This lecture series provides a bridge so that students understand both the art and science of investing and continue to meet and learn from those investment professionals that work to ensure that all investing is done with ethics, leadership, and integrity. In this way, the series aims to expand the student’s knowledge of what investing can mean and help prepare students to navigate the ever-changing landscape of the investment industry. By bringing in speakers from a variety of asset classes and backgrounds, student’s learning experiences are not confined to just the classroom.
