Beginning in fall 2022, American University is launching an interdisciplinary program that will provide students with real-world experience in sustainable investing within the university’s endowment portfolio. Led by AU’s Kogod School of Business, a new course offering will engage students in the university’s financial future by featuring student-faculty collaboration to research and recommend investment opportunities to the Board of Trustees. Investments from the program will be funded with a 1 percent allocation of the endowment, or approximately $9 million based on current market levels, making it one of the largest student-advised investment funds in the country. Committing this level of university endowment resources makes this program unique in the nation.
