Here on our campus - the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga - students manage a real stock portfolio like a mutual fund at an investment firm.

It’s called the Student-Managed Investment Learning Experience Fund - or SMILE Fund - at the Gary W. Rollins College of Business - and the fund has a real client, the UC Foundation.

Reese Veltenaar, a College of Business alum, is on The SMILE Fund’s advisory board.
