Financial Management Association
Established in 1969, the has been nationally recognized for itsmembership, activities, corporate sponsorship and outstanding web site. More recently,
in 1988, FMA was inducted into the National Financial Management Association. During
the 98-99 school year, membership grew to over one hundred members. FMA makes finance
fun, real, and exciting by linking student members' technical classroom skills with
guest speakers' business-world experiences, thus encouraging student interaction.
The club draws mainly from finance students, but officers and members alike are also
drawn from such diverse backgrounds as management, economics, and accounting. Using
both formal and informal activities (e.g., professional guest speakers and sporting
events) furthers the opportunity for members to enhance managerial, interpersonal,
and social skills.
