Who We Are

The Troy Finance & Economics Club, founded in 2024 by Jiahao Cheng (CO26'), was established to promote and advance financial literacy on campus.

The organization equips students with a strong foundation in personal finance, investing, and fundamental economic principles. Through topics such as saving, budgeting, credit, loans, and the stock market, members gain practical knowledge they can apply in everyday life and future career paths.

The club emphasizes leadership, professionalism, and career exploration within finance and related industries. Through hands-on simulations, structured discussions, and collaborative activities, students strengthen their analytical and decision-making skills.
