This trip is sponsored by the student investment club. The purpose of this trip is three-fold: to expose Bluffton University EBA students to leading-edge corporations, to create opportunities to study and better understand the financial markets of the Midwest, and to create opportunities to experience culture outside of the environment that we are use to. The only required cost to students is the $75 deposit – all other costs, including food, travel and entertainment will be covered by the investment club (as defined by the investment club and approved by the endowment committee). Students are responsible for costs outside the scheduled agenda. (additional entertainment, purchases, etc).
Past itinerary has included the following: Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Chicago Board of Trade, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Museum of Science and Industry, The Second City, and Chicago Anti-Hunger Federation.
Please note the following requirements:
1. Students must be declared EBA majors to participate in this trip.
2. Trip positions will be based on seniority. Once the sixteen slots are filled, remaining individuals will be placed on a waiting list.
3. To hold your position on the list you must submit a $75.00 deposit (checks ONLY – made payable to Bluffton University Investment Club) by the posted date. Please submit these checks directly to the Investment Club President or the Investment Club Treasurer. Do NOT utilize campus mail.
