Beginning this semester, students from University of the Pacific's Eberhardt School of Business will manage an investment fund seeded by a $1 million gift from the Bank of Stockton and its president and chief executive officer, Douglass Eberhardt.
The purpose of the fund, school officials said, is to link education with experience.
'The student investment fund represents one of the best experiential learning opportunities on campus and will truly create career-ready graduates in finance,' Dean Chuck Williams said.
Ten undergraduate and graduate students were selected to participate in the fund through a formal application process"

What an amazing program! More universities should provide such an opportunity to their students; even a gift of $10,000 or so could have an impact.
In fact, if a University truly believes in the power of its teaching, it should put a portion of its endowment into such a program. This would provide great incentive to all parties, and make quite a statement about the school!
Thanks for posting this.
