In addition to gaining hands-on experience in securities analysis and portfolio management, Eagle Fund students are provided with several opportunities to hone their presentation skills. Legendary investor, Warren Buffett, said the best advice he can give to recent college graduates is “Invest in yourself. The one easy way to become worth 50 percent more than you are now — at least — is to hone your communication skills — both written and verbal. You can have all the brainpower in the world, but you have to be able to transmit it.”
