“It’s counterintuitive, but I show my students how critical the first few years out of college are for insuring their financial future, not those years closest to retirement. If they get that piece right, they will have the resources and time later in life to contribute in ways that make the world a better place.” -Professor Carl Ackermann teaches Introductory Finance. Last spring, he taught 410 sophomores in five sections.
