Dear Dr. Helpful,
Someone in my Financial Management class mentioned an “Aristotle Fund”. Sounds “Greek” to me.

Dear Sophie,
The Aristotle Fund is a student-managed investment fund, now valued at $3.5 million, and operates under the auspices of the University of St. Thomas.
Every year, a group of students selected from the graduate UST Opus College of Business program manage an ongoing portfolio of equity securities, selecting, analyzing, and incorporating new stocks and divesting others within the context of their policy mandate. In addition, the students are responsible for a variety of communications pertaining to the performance of the fund.
The fund is currently operated as a mid-cap equity blend and is overseen by a UST board of advisors. Each student is assigned a mentor -- professionals from the finance industry.

Applications are due in March, 2008 followed by interviews in April. Student involvement begins upon acceptance to the program (as early as May and continues for a year).
The Aristotle Fund is a 6-credit MBA elective course.

Dear Dr. Helpful,
I am completing my coursework this spring semester. (There’s a light at the end of the tunnel!) What do I have to do to graduate?
Thanks,
Nathan
Dear Nate,
First, check your degree evaluation at Murphy registration.
The top line should look something like this:
Area :
PT Business Administration ( 51.000 credits ) - Met
This means that you have completed courses and registered for the necessary courses to complete your degree.
Secondly, submit the online graduation application. Go to: https://www.stthomas.edu/business/degrees/graduationapplication/
If you need help, contact your Academic Advisor.
Congratulations!
Signed,
Dr. Helpful
