Student Finance Association

Trips

SFA recognizes the value in visiting finance professionals in order to observe financial concepts in action. Each semester, students have the unique opportunity to visit financial institutions and corporations in a wide variety of financial fields in cities throughout the US.

SFA officers Matt Hewitt and Greg Foote with Warren Buffett, chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway, in Omaha.

On our trips, students are expected to actively engage the finance professionals at the places we visit, so that the experience is rewarding for everyone. In order to adequately prepare for the trips, students will attend a pre-trip meeting to discuss the stops that we will be making. At the meeting, we will also provide reading material that students are required to read prior to going on the trip.

Demand to go on these trips is high and we are frequently limited as to the number of students allowed. Therefore a trip application is mandatory for all students interested in going on trips. The link below provides an application as a Word document. This must be filled out and turned into the Finance Office prior to the applicable deadline. In addition to completing the application, students must also submit a trip deposit and be current on their dues.
