Education Initiative

The Board of Directors has appointed a task force consisting of Mark Grinblatt and John Campbell to consider ways in which the Association might expand its educational mission by providing financial support and expertise to efforts to enhance education in finance for K-12 students, non-business undergraduates, and the general public. AFA members with interest in this broader educational mission should contact Mark Grinblatt (mark.grinblatt@anderson.ucla.edu).

AFA History Project Video interviews with Harry Markowitz, Robert Merton,  Paul Samuelson, Myron Scholes, William Sharpe and Jack Treynor are available on the History of Finance page. 

Annual Meeting Videos Videos of the 2007 Business Meeting and the JOF Prize Awards are available on the Annual Meeting page. The 2007 Presidential Address Video is available on the Presidential Address page.

Worldwide Directory of Finance Faculty: The AFA and the Department of Finance at Ohio State University have entered into a joint venture to maintain and enhance the finance faculty directory held on the OSU web site. At present, information on over 3,000 finance professors and professionals is available in the directory. An effort is being made to include all AFA members on this list and members are encouraged to provide information to the directory manager. A link to the directory is available on the homepage or you can go direct to:
