  • Dr. Steven Lysonski, Professor of Marketing and Miles Research Scholar

The presentations were well received. The students presented for about 5 minutes and then answered audience questions for 10 minutes. Dean Linda Salchenberger was impressed with the quality of the presentations. She said, "I enjoyed the student pitches. They were well prepared and did an excellent job answering questions on the fly. I continue to be impressed by the students in the AIM program; they are well prepared to enter the world of finance."

Dr. David Krause, AIM program director, stated, "These were some interesting stocks that the students presented today. An Internet company, a baby clothier, and a specialty fuel wholesaler. I believe that this assortment of companies gave our guests a good idea about the diversity of sectors and companies that the students follow in the AIM program. I was very pleased that my colleagues were able to attend the pitches today - I know it might have been a bit more pressure for the AIM student presenters, but they did a nice job."
