The Stetson University’s Roland George Investments Program (RGIP) Public Trustee Meeting will take place Oct. 30, allowing students to present their stock recommendations for approval by the RGIP trustees.

Following the Cannabis, Virtual Realty 4, and Drones 9 indices approved in past years, RGIP students will launch a new index focusing on artificial intelligence. Considered to be a rapidly developing technology, artificial intelligence is the use of computer algorithms to attempt to replicate the human ability to learn, reason and make decisions.

Who: The Stetson University School of Business Administration Roland George Investments Program.  RGIP is known for having one of the nation’s oldest and best market performances, and is directed entirely by Stetson University students. The pioneering program empowers students to manage a portfolio comprising $3.5 million in real money invested in stocks and bonds. They use fundamental research tools and leading data services to identify and research the best investment recommendations to students and trustees of the investments committee.

When: Monday, Oct. 30, 5-6:30 p.m.

Where: Stetson University Marshall & Vera Lea Rinker Welcome Center, 529 N. Woodland Blvd., DeLand, Fla. 

What: During the meeting, which is free and open to the public, students will discuss a new index that includes four stock recommendations for the RGIP Growth Fund, focusing on the artificial intelligence industry. Students will also present an additional stock recommendation, Hologoic (NASDAQ: HOLX). Trustees and audience members will then have the opportunity to ask questions about the index and stock recommendations. Immediately following the question-and-answer period, trustees will vote on each stock recommendation.
