Events

As we go off to complete our summer internships, we are planning Finance Club events for the 2007 - 2008 academic year. To give you an idea of what we will be doing next year, here are some of the events we did in past years.

To Tuck alumni and recruiters, we always welcome and appreciate your insight. Please contact the co-chairs if you are interested in holding an event on campus.
