RISE Forum,

DAYTON, Ohio
From April 4 - 6, 2013, the University of Dayton will host the 13th annual
Redefining Investment Strategy Education (RISE) Forum. Primarily
established as a student investment conference, each year RISE extends
an invitation to business and finance professionals to share in the first day
of the two and one-half day event. The keynote panelists, some of the best
and brightest from Wall Street, corporate America, the financial media and
government, hold equal appeal for students, professors and practitioners
alike.
Characterized by a non-scripted panel discussion format, RISE offers
students the opportunity to lead discussions, ask questions and participate
in dialogue that involves them in real-world issues and practices that may
shape the economic future of the nation and the world.
Students are always part of the conversation at RISE, and join the experts
in economic forecasting through an on-site poll, with results shared almost
immediately.
For academic attendees, RISE also offers breakout sessions on investment
and career strategies, security analysis, portfolio management and an
optional portfolio competition in addition to the keynote presentations. A
special session for faculty will highlight research presentations by finance,
accounting and economics scholars.
“There is a confusion that
equates active trading with
financial sophistication. If that were
the case then Warren Buffett would
be a country bumpkin.”
Knight Kiplinger
Editor-in-Chief of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine,
Kiplinger.com and the Kiplinger Letter, taken from his RISE 7
address on markets.
“Do you think the
media obsesses over
the wording in your
statements too much?”
Question posed to Ben S. Bernanke, then member of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, now Chairman, by
University of Toronto student Kevin Mack at RISE 5.

The United Nations
Global Compact
The United Nations Global Compact has a long association with
RISE. Former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan first
proposed the Global Compact in an address to the World Economic
Forum on January 31, 1999. The Secretary-General invited business
leaders to join an international initiative, the Global Compact, that
would bring companies together with U.N. agencies, labor and civil
society to advance universal social and environmental principles. The
Global Compact is a network. At its core is the Global Compact Office
and six UN agencies. The Global Compact involves all the relevant
social actors: governments, who defined the principles on which the
initiative is based; companies, whose actions it seeks to influence;
labor, in whose hands the concrete process of global production takes
place; civil society organizations, representing the wider community
of stakeholders; and the United Nations, the world’s only true global
political forum, as an authoritative convener and facilitator. Today,
companies from all regions of the world, international labor and civil
society organizations are engaged in the Global Compact. For more
