HIGH POINT, N.C., Feb. 21, 2012 – The Phillips School of Business at High Point University recently hosted Dr. Bobby Lamy, head of Curriculum Development at the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Institute in the W. Allen and Nancy Tilley Trading Room of the Wilson School of Commerce.
The CFA Institute is a global, nonprofit organization of investment professionals from more than 100 countries. Lamy visited HPU to speak about the CFA Program and its many benefits for students interested in working in the financial industry.
