Student groups employ statistical methods to analyze quantitative and qualitative financial data, including bank communications, financial news, and bankruptcy reports. Students then draw conclusions about real-world financial implications, such as factors that increase financial risk and how news media might impact market dynamics.

Students will de-construct a complex business situation, identify the key issues and problems facing the organization in question, propose alternative courses of action, recognize the trade-offs involved in these alternatives, and make concrete recommendations backed by solid reasoning. Companies will have the chance to work and meet with tomorrow's leaders at a prestigious university institution. They may also obtain strategic advice and research analyses from eager young adults at no cost.
