So I signed my offer and when I return next semester, I want to focus more on helping other students interested in finance. My school already has an investment fund, a real estate club, a professional development club. I’m looking to start some sort of club but don’t really have many ideas. Would love to hear feedback about what clubs you guys started, and how the process was like.

financial literacy could be a great place to start!
Could you elaborate a bit more? There is already a financial modeling club that a few of my friends and I now lead if you mean something like that.
like a club to teach more about financial literacy in general to both students and to local high schools. nothing like modeling, more along the lines of credit cards, loans, etc.
You could create an IB mentorship club. My school just created one this year. Juniors and seniors who have offers for IB and are normally apart of the other finance clubs like student investment fund/consulting groups/alternative investment clubs can apply to be mentors and then underclassmen who want to recruit for IB can apply to be mentees. Focuses on everything IB recruitment from basic resume stuff to networking and technicals.
It’s a great idea but my school is very small and not great. Only 3-5 kids a year want to do IB and a fraction of that actually secure an offer
Lol i think we go to the same school
Lol wya
georgetown
Nope, at Emory
interesting, even at georgetown something similar this year. was very helpful
I'm at Emory too and someone started a very successful quant trading club. It became massive. I think developing a solid curriculum and advertising will be key factorsl. I think the person who started it here didn't really know exactly what he was doing but figured it out along the way. If you talk to some professor then they can hook you onto some great connects. I think a professor here gave them 100k to trade.
I'm assuming you're trying to start a finance club. Idk you can start so many niche clubs like PE, Product management, case comp club, quant/trading club, alternative investments, biotech investing, VC/Entrepreneurship, growth equity, political finance(idk you're at Georgetown you can probably get some good speakers from lobbying groups) you can call it wall street on capitol hill or something. Honestly if your main desire is to start a club it really doesn't have to be finance related.
Here is some advice. If you don't have any ideas, don't start a club.
If you're not passionate about something, don't start it. Ask yourself what you're passionate about and start that.

Makes a lot of sense tbh. Appreciate it, thanks.
