Being an industry practitioner, bringing real life planning to the classroom is my passion. Competitions like this, that engage students and require applied knowledge are so powerful in true learning. It is one thing to learn about concept. It is very different to require knowledge be applied to specific client situations. This competition helps students better prepare for the real-life in the financial planning industry.” Douglas C. Iles, Central Michigan University Professor.
