The Berea College Motley Fool Investment Club was founded in 2016 with the generous support of The Motley Fool, a financial services company with ties to Berea College. A select group of students are given the opportunity to manage a portfolio of equities on the U.S. stock market. Beyond financial goals, the Investment Club’s priority is to advance skills and knowledge of investing and fiduciary management of funds and spread financial literacy on campus. Aidan, now serving as the Club’s president, began attending its meetings early in his Berea career out of curiosity. Soon, he was hooked. “Until I came to Berea,” Aidan says, “my knowledge of the stock market was that it was some powerful force that was for people that live up north or in cities, not for someone from small-town Appalachia.”"}},{"__typename":"CoreParagraphBlock","attributesJSON":"{\"content\":\"\",\"dropCap\":false,\"anchor\":\"\"}","name":"core/paragraph","attributes":{"__typename":"CoreParagraphBlockAttributes","content":""}},{"__typename":"CoreParagraphBlock","attributesJSON":"{\"content\":\"Internship at Sands Capital in Arlington, Virginia<\\/strong>

The Black Male Initiative originally developed from a need to help support and retain African American male students. Graduation rates for African American men were as low as 34%. In response, the Black Cultural Center, in collaboration with faculty, developed strategies to support these students, from their first year through graduation. The initiative includes a tutoring and mentoring program, and structured discussions of current events, both on campus and off.
