No Joke - On April 1, 2016, Students in the AIM Class of 2017 Pitched Their First Set of Stocks!
Over 50
students in the AIM Room attended the first set of equity pitches delivered by
the Class of 2017 in the AIM Room on Friday. The seven AIM student
presentations also were viewed on-line via a webcast by more than 15 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 comments were posted at #AIMpitch at the @MarquetteAIM Twitter
site.
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.
