Society for the Advancement of Finance and Economics (SAFE)
The Society for the Advancement of Finance and Economics (SAFE) is a professional network that is primarily dedicated to research in various fields of finance. SAFE promotes the development and enhancement of financial and economic research by supporting multiple research projects, recognizing significant research contributions, and creating a platform for research and idea exchanges.

SAFE is open to all students interested in a finance or economics major.
TVA Investment Challenge
The TVA Investment Challenge provides hands-on applications of advanced portfolio concepts through the management of a real investment portfolio. Students implement trading strategies, place trades, provide performance reports, and adhere to similar standards as professional money managers while acting as fund managers for the Tennessee Valley Authority. The primary objective is for students to maximize long-run capital growth subject to relevant risk factors and investment restrictions. Students will research and evaluate prospective stock investments using rations, financial statements, and other relevant information about financial sectors.
Banking Advisory Board
The College of Business is committed to providing professional opportunities outside the classroom so students can experience various aspects of the business world to strengthen their business skills and enhance their individual career readiness. Working with our banking partner, American Bank & Trust of the Cumberlands, business students will observe and experience the inner workings of the banking industry and observe how banks serve while supporting the community.
