"We had a lot of laughs and a few good shots," said MAcc student Mike Moore, when reminiscing about last year's Applied Portfolio Management Program (APM) golf tournament.

Proceeds from this year's tournament, on Sept. 25 at Lawrence Country Club, will go to fund student employment in the Finance, Economics, and Decision Sciences (FEDS) area.

"In years past proceeds have gone to the APM program, but considering the recent budget cuts we decided to financially support the FEDS students instead of the program itself," said APM Director Catherine Shenoy.

Faculty, staff, APM alumni, and APM guest speakers typically make up the 44 players who participate in the events. "Participants from California to Connecticut come to play in the event each year," said Shenoy.

A lunch precedes the 1p.m. tee-off and is followed by a light supper and awards ceremony. The registration fee is $100. Shenoy said anyone is welcome to play, but the spots fill-up fast.

The KU School of Business' APM program provides students with the opportunity to incorporate the real world into the class room through hands-on investment experience.
