The Department of Finance at UNLV is committed to “Improving lives through finance education.” We host various events and initiatives to enhance student learning and professional development. Our programs include:
- Rebels on Wall Street: An annual student trip to New York City, offering first hand exposure to leading financial firms.
- Finance Graduation and Awards Reception: A celebration recognizing the achievements of our students, faculty, and alumni.
- President’s Investment Challenge: A campus-wide experiential learning opportunity focused on investment strategies.
These are just a few examples of how we empower our students to excel in finance. If you share our vision and would like to support our mission, we invite you to give to that vision through the Department of Finance.
