Over 50 students in

viewed on-line via a webcast by more than 20 alumni and family members across
North America.
These presentations
also included the opportunity for real-time micro-blogging (via Twitter).
During the AIM student equity pitches on Friday more than 20 questions and

The presenting
students have the opportunity to respond to the questions over the weekend
before the students vote on whether or not to add the stocks they pitched. The
student equity pitches have always been one of the main highlights of the AIM
program and the new class did a solid job.
The
opportunity for students to actively manage domestic and international equity
portfolios has been an important part of Marquette AIM program’s experiential
learning. The AIM students who presented on Friday included (Student Name, Fund
and Sector, Company Name, and Ticker):
- Leo Martinic, Financial Services, PRA Group, Inc. (PRAA)
