Another First for R.I.S.E.
Thursday, January 31, 2008
What could be more fitting than the nation’s largest electronic stock exchange staging
its first-ever-on-a-college-campus remote Closing Bell ceremony from the floor of the world’s largest investment
conference? That’s precisely what will occur during the R.I.S.E. VIII Forum’s keynote presentations on March 27
as NASDAQ officially ends its business day onstage at the UD Arena.
NASDAQ and R.I.S.E. is a match made in heaven, or at least made in Dayton, Ohio as UD’s hometown joins the
elite ranks of more prominent cities that have hosted these rare, off-site Closing Bell ceremonies: Davos,
Switzerland…Beijing, China…San Jose, California.
The NASDAQ event spotlights an entire day of unparalleled programming featuring a stellar line-up of heavyweights
from the worlds of investment, finance, and government who comprise the panelists and speakers at the R.I.S.E. VIII
Forum’s keynote presentation day.
Of course, R.I.S.E. VIII continues for students on Friday and Saturday as it moves to the University of Dayton
campus with a full schedule of workshops and breakout sessions. All in all, it’s a three-day event you won’t want
to miss. For more details, visit www.rise.udayton.edu.

On January 18, 2007, Dr. Bob Froehlich, Chairman of the Investor Strategy Committee for
Deutsche Asset Management, spoke to the Davis Center students on several topics ranging from R.I.S.E. VII
all the way to his outlook for the 2007 economy and markets. Students had the privilege to ask interesting
questions to a prominent UD Alumni and learn about the markets in a special way. By taking time outside of
the classroom to discuss real issues and apply them to everyday life, students were able to enjoy this unique opportunity.

On September 30th, 2006, over 30 Davis Center associates and Finance Club members lent a helping hand
at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s annual walk at Island Metro Park in Dayton. Members helped out in a
number of ways, including unloading supplies, setting up tents, distributing water to walkers, and face-painting. The
walk was an enormous success, attracting over 3,000 participants. This is the second year in a row that the Davis Center
and Finance Club have participated in the walk, and both groups have begun to develop a great relationship with the JDRF.
The students fundraised over $1,500 for the organization through personal donations and donations collected from students
around the UD campus.

On September 24th, the Davis Center team participated in the 2005 Walk to Cure Diabetes.
Twenty-five staff members made the trip to Island MetroPark in Dayton, OH to volunteer their time and make

ways—including set-up, balloons, face-painting, working checkpoints, photography, and playing games
with the kids. It was a fun and rewarding day for everyone involved! The Davis Center contributed over $600
to the JDRF and will continue to support this cause in the near future.
