(Aired Thu 9/18/25)
The SMILE Fund is an investment account managed by students here on our campus, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
Over the years, the Fund has grown from 250,000 dollars to three million dollars.
Two UTC students now involved in steering the fund are Zane Warren and Justice Cardenas.
They’re launching a SMILE Fund podcast - and here’s their first episode, recorded in the podcasting space at Fletcher Hall in the Gary W. Rollins College of Business.

Our thanks to Justice and Zane, both UTC students with The SMILE Fund, for the podcast - as well as Hunter Carroll, program manager for the Fund - and Dr. Hunter Holzhauer, the Fund’s director and a professor of finance at the Gary W. Rollins College of Business here at UTC.
