The Intrieri Family Student-Managed Fund, which began in 2012 with a $100,000 gift from alumnus Vincent Intrieri ’84, and his wife, Joanne, has grown to more than $1 million! Reaching this milestone has triggered a commitment to begin providing scholarships from a portion of the returns. Congratulations to Aruj Bhargava, Riley Kennis, and Isaac Echard, who were the first recipients of funding.

While the scholarships are a nice bonus, the value of the fund is evident for upper-level Finance students who have the opportunity to actively manage it. Many business alumni have told faculty members that their experience with the fund has directly contributed to their career trajectory.
