"There are several benefits to students joining and participating in the Bulldog Investment Company program. Most notably, students will gain skills in financial analysis, critical thinking, and public speaking. Additionally, students will also earn a line item on their resume that will allow them to have potentially years’ worth of experience upon graduation. "

"Current students should participate in BIC because it has provided me with so much growth as an individual. If it weren’t for BIC, I would still have terrible anxiety when it comes to presenting in front of a crowd or peers in general. I have also learned lots of wisdom from Dave and other alumni who are in the working world. I have also learned things that could not have been taught in the classroom that is part of the curriculum of my study."

"You have the opportunity to learn so much more than you would ever learn in regular classes. Everything you learn in BIC can be applied to the real world. It will set you apart from other students, and the knowledge and practical experience you gain will give you an edge in the job hunt and once you start working."

"BIC helped me obtain a job as it was a very important line on my resume. In every interview I was asked what the Bulldog Investment Company was. When I told the interviewer what it was, they were all extremely impressed, and it made a huge difference when they compared me to other students. They realized it took commitment, teamwork, and intelligence which is what every employer looks for."

"My favorite thing about BIC was the culture. On Friday afternoons, we were not young undergraduates at a small university – we were investors. We made decisions with financial consequences based on research we conducted."

"I no longer fear interviews or presentations. I am confident in what I am talking about, and am able to back the research I did. I like entering conversations about the business world because I can relate and know what I’m talking about."

"What I liked best is that Bulldog made the complicated subject of picking stocks seem pretty easy. I still don't know why the average investor tries to make everything so complicated--but I know I certainly won't be doing that. Bulldog also gave me great respect for Warren Buffett and showed me that he isn't just another really rich guy".
