[Chef 1]
Aaron Wilder, sous chef for Dining and Conference Services, helps prepare a sandwich for a customer in the Food Court. Wilder is an IUS alumnus and applied for the position three times over a three-year period before being selected for the position.
IU Southeast hired a new chef at the beginning of the year, Aaron Wilder, sous chef for Dining and Conference Services.
Wilder graduated from the School of Business with a Bachelor of Science in business management at IU Southeast in 2006.
“I learned more from being on the job than in [culinary] school,” Wilder said. “I felt [it] was a waste of money.”
IU Southeast competed in the annual Certified Financial Analyst Institute Global Investment Research Challenge on Feb. 23, walking away with second place honors. The team from IU Southeast consisted of graduates Greg Darnell, Tim Crockett, Matt Yost, Jim Magill and Erica Lange.
According to the CFA’s Facebook page, the CFA Institute’s Research Challenge mission is to allow students the opportunity to produce an equity research report based off of the investment industry.
Kevin Ragland, professor of Investment Management and faculty sponsor of the group, elaborated on the research challenge.
The foundation will be established in the School of Business with a $100,000 fund from the Horseshoe Foundation. This is the first time IU Southeast has partnered with a foundation with such a large investment fund.
Jay White, dean of the School of Business, said the money will be used to create a portfolio. The portfolio will be combined with a class teaching students how to make decisions about buying securities as well as selling securities.
White said he previously spoke to Jerry Finn, head of the Horseshoe Foundation, years ago about the concept. However, it was not until the School of Business finished the Financial Markets Lab that Finn contacted White agreeing to support a student trading fund.
The School of Business moved up 30 positions in its rankings with “U.S. News and World Report,” making it in the top 15 percent of business programs in the country.
Bloomberg’s “BusinessWeek” has also recently ranked IU Southeast’s School of Business 73rd out of 500 for part-time MBA programs.
“These rankings show that IU Southeast’s business programs compare very favorably with other programs in the nation,” Alan White, dean of the School of Business and assistant professor of finance, said.
