Rutgers Finance Society hosted
Commercial Financial Association
Panel (CFA) on 10/17/2013.The
panel was a great group of individuals from
diverse backgrounds. The most rewarding aspect
of it all was that they explored a comprehensive
concept of finance with an application of an indepth and robust case study. It was incredible to
see the various moving parts that are in motion
working together in perfect coordination.
