Finance, Investment, and Real Estate Club
Finance, Investment, and Real Estate (FIRE) Club
The Finance, Investment, and Real Estate (FIRE) Club is a student-led organization focused on exploring key areas of the financial world. Through core sectors focusing on financial strategies, real estate, and investment management, members gain knowledge in topics such as stock portfolios, wealth management, and more.
We don’t just talk about investing—we do it. Our student-run investment fund gives members experience managing real money and building real portfolios. Throughout the year, we welcome industry pros to share insights, stories, and advice where we connect students directly with leaders in finance.
MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to prepare students for successful careers in finance, investment, and real estate by providing real-world experience, practical education, and professional development opportunities.
