Dr. Krause, AIM director commented, "This has been an amazing past couple of weeks. It is truly incredible to see the growth of the Marquette finance alumni network the past several years. In the New York area alone we've seen a group of 8 Marquette alumni in 2005 grow to over 150 today. It is hard to thank each and every alumnus, but everyone associated with the AIM program and the finance alumni network should be pleased with the successes we've achieved. Thank you all."
