Collaborative Student Works
When finance students work together, remarkable things happen. Our collaborative projects showcase the power of shared knowledge, diverse perspectives, and collective problem-solving in real business scenarios.
Market Analysis Coalition
A cross-functional team of six students spent four months analyzing emerging markets in sustainable energy investments. Their research combined traditional financial modeling with ESG impact assessments.
- Delano Rutherford - Lead Analyst
- Azalea Thornwick - Data Specialist
- Phoenix Blackwater - Research Coordinator
- Sterling Ashworth - Market Researcher
The team's final presentation influenced three local investment firms to reconsider their portfolio strategies. What started as a classroom assignment became a 120-page comprehensive market study.
Digital Banking Innovation Lab
Five students partnered to redesign customer experience flows for community banking. They interviewed 200+ bank customers and created detailed user journey maps spanning six months of research.
- Octavia Grimwald - UX Research Lead
- Casper Nightingale - Financial Analyst
- Indigo Ravencrest - Systems Designer
- Atlas Stormwind - Project Manager
Their prototype banking interface focused on transparency and financial education. The project caught attention from regional credit unions looking to modernize their digital presence.
Working on the municipal bond analysis project taught me more about negotiation and compromise than any textbook could. When Sage disagreed with my risk calculations, we spent two weeks testing different models together. That back-and-forth made our final recommendation so much stronger.
