The current global financial and economic climate may present the greatest opportunity for finance students and graduates that we’ve seen in a generation or more. Students, faculty and business professionals can learn immeasurably from the challenges we face and the responses under way at all levels of society, industry and government.
We in the W. P. Carey School of Business Department of Finance view this as the prime opportunity to prepare and position well-educated individuals who can participate and lead as we recast and remake financial markets and institutions.
