"The Center for Advanced Financial Education is an outstanding example of Roger Williams University's commitment to preparing students through real-world education and powerful combinations of learning and hands-on experiences. Dr. Michael Melton has created a groundbreaking program that makes our graduates ready for work on day one at the top Wall Street firms and global investment companies around the world," said RWU President Ioannis Miaoulis.
"I am proud to be named the Yeaton Professor of Finance and to receive this wonderful recognition and added support of the Center for Advanced Financial Education program," Melton said. "As we look forward to celebrating CAFE's 20th anniversary, I am excited to continue the work of preparing our students to become the business leaders the world needs next."
CAFE program students manage two investment portfolios in real time inside a center that is outfitted like a Wall Street trading room. The program has won several portfolio management awards, including two national collegiate championships. International educational experiences are embedded in the program, and students have presented their methodology to CEOs and CFOs at global financial institutions around the world, from Tokyo to Hong Kong, Dubai, Shanghai, Frankfurt, Greece, and London.
RWU will announce additional endowed professorships at the Gabelli School of Business in the years ahead.
