Dr. David Krause, Marquette University’s AIM program director said, “It was a pleasure to host Ben on campus again. Per usual, he did an excellent job presenting to the students in the AIM Class of 2017. Ben and the students talked about a range of investment topics and learning about the decision-making process within a family office. In the Alternative Investments class, Ben talked about direct private equity investing. The students asked many good questions and it was a timely visit given where we are in the curriculum.”
