Advisory Board

The Department of Finance Advisory Board at the W. P. Carey School of Business was established to provide advice to the department on critical issues of placement, curriculum, training and pragmatic research needs in formal meetings and through informal contacts. In addition, board members may be asked by faculty to be guest speakers in undergraduate and graduate classes. The board also provides base financial support to the department and aids in departmental fund-raising efforts designed to support program, faculty and student development.

The faculty of the Department of Finance believes that constructive engagement with distinguished members of the business community who serve on the board furthers the mission of the department in preparing students to become productive contributors to the profession and the economy.
