AIM — Real Experience
Student praises Foundation-funded investment program
Kutztown University Foundation & Alumni Relations has supplied $250,000 in start-up funds since 2005 to the Applied Investment Management (AIM) program, providing hands-on investment experience for College of Business students. Started as independent study with $50,000 backing under Professor Jonathan Kramer, investment management grew to become coursework in 2007.

"THANK YOU for all the fundraising you do each year to give scholarships, especially the money that you have given AIM to invest in the betterment of Kutztown's business students and provide them with unparalleled experience. Each AIM member appreciates what you have done and [we hope] will continue to do. Thank you!"
