For the sixth year in a row, in spring of <strong>2023</strong>, <strong>FMA</strong> was named<br />
Superior Chapter by the <strong>FMA</strong> national organization. Our<br />
chapter was also recognized with the <strong>2023</strong> National Executive<br />
of the Year and 2022 Faculty Advisor of the Year awards.<br />
At the University level, <strong>FMA</strong> received the Most Exceptional<br />
Campus Organization award in 2022 and the Excellence in<br />
Career Readiness Award for the second time, at the <strong>2023</strong> AU<br />
Involvement Ceremony.<br />
A prime example of our emphasis on practical application and<br />
career readiness can be seen in <strong>FMA</strong>’s new member development<br />
program. This curriculum includes a rigorous twelve-week<br />
intensive training program designed to prepare students for elite<br />
careers in finance. This comprehensive academic preparation<br />
entails over 40 hours of intensive training including:<br />
• Online training guide with a schedule and syllabus<br />
• Wall Street Prep Video Curriculum with accompanying<br />
PowerPoint deck<br />
• Technical Finance Question Guide<br />
• Behavioral Question Guide<br />
• Weekly homework<br />
• Networking assignments<br />
• Internal mentors<br />
• Professional development seminars<br />
• Weekly meetings to cover technical and behavioral<br />
topics<br />
• Capstone mock technical interview and discounted<br />
cash flow analysis project<br />
This new member training is only the beginning. Members<br />
continue their training with four <strong>FMA</strong>/ASIF specific courses:<br />
Advanced Modeling, Advanced Investments (est. Fall <strong>2023</strong>),<br />
Advanced Security Analysis, Advanced Portfolio Management.<br />
These honors recognize our accomplishments as an elite<br />
financial preparation program that combines education, career<br />
preparation, industry intellectual capital, alumni engagement,<br />
and information resources to produce the best trained and<br />
prepared students for finance careers. “Auburn <strong>FMA</strong> is fueled by<br />
students and alumni…who are there to help each other and the<br />
University,” said Nick Thompson, senior in finance and Auburn<br />
<strong>FMA</strong> co-president. “We are passionate about providing practical<br />
skills and resources that make tangible impacts.”<br />
These training efforts resulted in an average starting<br />
compensation of $148,400 for our <strong>2023</strong> graduates.<br />
