PSA for Victor Wang

By Tangotiger, 05:58 PM

I am currently a freshman at Northwestern University in Evanston.  I am in the process of trying to create a quantitative sports management and analysis group.  Right now my options are to create to submit the group as a completely unique group at Northwestern or for it to be part of Northwester’s Institute of Student Business Education (ISBE).  Ideally, my group would be accepted to be part of a subgroup of ISBE.  However, for this to occur my proposal has to be accepted by ISBE and later an executive board of Northwestern University.  So basically what I am wondering from you guys is if anyone would be interested in speaking at Northwestern later on or giving a workshop or something of that sort.  It could be something similar to the classes that were held at MIT this past summer.  If I am able to get a large enough group of speakers, I think the group would have a decent shot of getting approved.  So just let me know if you would have any interest.

Thanks for the post Tango.  If anyone is interested they can contact me in the email linked on my name.

When do you think the speaking presentation might be?  I might be interested. I’ll email you.  When I saw the title of the post, I thought “PSA” as in testing for possible prostate cancer.  Then again, I am almost 50, so those things are on my mind.

Given the number of BP folks in the Chicago area, that’s a route worth trying as well (though I imagine you’ve already gone down that road).
