Investment Series The College of Business Investment Series is devoted to expanding finance knowledge through the Texas Panhandle with a focus on students and the community. Students manage a portfolio of University scholarship funds and decide on stocks to purchase and sell with a goal of long-term growth. They learn investment fundamentals like present value, fundamental and technical analysis. The series is one of the largest sources of scholarships in the College of Business. Guest speakers attract active investors and professionals in the medical, legal, financial, investment and real estate areas along with business owners. Speakers in the past have included analysts and economists, mutual fund managers and Federal Reserve economists. The series focuses on insights into future investment horizons. Speakers occasionally talk to students to increase awareness of their firm and the industry. Dr. Anne Macy, director of the series, can be reached at 806-651-2523.
