Eight students from the Erin and Kyle Cummings Student Managed Investment Fund (CSMIF) at the Barton School of Business recently traveled to New York City for a transformative learning experience. Representing Wichita State University at Quinnipiac University’s Global Asset Management Education (GAME) Forum — the world’s largest student-run financial conference — students engaged directly with global finance leaders, explored top investment firms and strengthened their understanding of capital markets through immersive, real-world exposure.
“This opportunity was incredible,” said Adam Key, student president of CSMIF and GAME Forum attendee. “It allowed us to take what we’ve learned in the classroom and through managing our fund and apply it in a real-world context. We toured world-class financial institutions, met inspiring professionals, and got a behind-the-scenes look at the world of investment banking.”
