April 19, 2024

A big shoutout and thank you to the 25 members of the Southern Investment Association (SIA) at Parker College of Business-Georgia Southern University, who demonstrated a tremendous dedication toward their twelve presentations and thoughtful deliberation during Saturday’s (April 13) 9-hour stock pitch Saturday. A special thank you to Jacob Lord, SIA president, for leading Saturday’s event.

I also want to thank our graduating officers Cameron Naulta (Executive VP), Hunter Jones (VP Investment Strategy), and Anna Hewitt (VP Recruitment) for their commitment and hard work over the past semesters. Additionally, I want to thank our graduating members Nicholas Milcarek, Tate Bielenberg, and Zachary Roberts for their devotion to the SIA. You will be greatly missed!

Congratulations to Bent Berger for receiving this semester’s Ashcroft Scholarship for his extraordinary service to the group.

I want to thank Nathan Ashcroft (ACCT, 2017; MAcc, 2018) and Joel Varghese (FIN, 2021) who once again spent their Saturday with the group. Their tireless support and investment into the professional development of our students is highly appreciated. Finally, a big thank you to John Hatem, Ph.D., professor of finance, for all he does for the students and the SIA. I am honored to work with him and to learn from him every day.

I wish I had a bigger word than “Thank You” to express how grateful I am to everyone who makes this day possible!
