The Financial Education Partnership (FEP) is a collaborative effort between the Duke Financial Economics Center (DFE) and the Duke University Career Center to enrich and expand co-curricular and extra-curricular programs and education for students interested in finance and financial markets.
The FEP organizes activities throughout the year for students to learn more about the field of finance and to network with professionals in financial industries. Students may choose to participate in any or all of the various events hosted by FEP.
Financial organizations are invited to be FEP sponsors and participate in these activities in order to facilitate learning and increase communication between students and the financial services industry.
Please see the highlighted dates on the calendar below to view FEP events for the month. Use the grey arrows in the upper right corner of the calendar to scroll months.

"The goal of the Goodner Project is to provide Duke students with a real world investing experience, building upon their pre-existing academic foundation. Last year's pilot and this year's first full credit course have far surpassed my expectations,” said Blake Goodner, a founding member of New York hedge fund Bridger Capital and co-teacher of the course.
"We will provide students and young alumni the financial life skills that will empower them to make better and more informed financial decisions here at Duke and after graduation," said DFE Executive Director John Caccavale. The Personal Finance@Duke website is now live. . .
