Roland George Investments Program

The Sarah George Investments Institute was made possible by a gift of nearly $3.6 million from the estate of Mrs. Sarah George in 1988. Prior to this gift, Mrs. George had given $568,000 in 1980 to establish the student-run Roland George Investments Program at Stetson University in honor of her late husband Mr. Roland George. The purpose of the George Investments Institute is to support the investments education and research at Stetson University.

The George Investments Institute is located in a state-of-the art "trading room" on the 3rd floor of the Eugene M. and Christine Lynn Business Center. The student-run Roland George Investments Program is an integral part of the Institute. The Institute supports general public investments education through projects such as the Roland George Investments Program Annual Report as well as the student investment newsletter, The George Investments View. Seminars and presentations have also been made at local civic groups, as well as on campus.

Students meet financier Warren Buffett in Omaha, Nebraska.
