We’re building a campus for active citizenship in the heart of Chicago’s South Side — but it will have projects all across the city, country, and world. The Center is a work in progress, built in direct partnership with thousands of people who have offered their feedback in-person and online. The Obama Presidential Center will be a living, working campus — an ongoing project where we will shape, together, what it means to be a good citizen in the 21st century.

The Obama Presidential Center will be a new landmark for the South Side and an economic engine for the city of Chicago — drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, creating thousands of new jobs on the South Side — and help to continue the revitalization of historic Jackson Park. The campus will remove barriers and seamlessly connect the park to the lakefront, and will be unified with other local South Side institutions. It will be a place for all seasons, with winding landscapes, a sledding hill, and quiet spaces to read or reflect. The majority of the space will be free and open to the public.

The Kent State University Board of Trustees recently voted to allocate $500,000 of University funds to be managed by finance studnets participating in a Student Managed Investment Fund, bringing the total amount of funds managed by Kent State finance majors to $1 million.

With the additional $500,000 from Kent State University, students will now manage four separate $250,000 accounts. The purpose of the Student Managed Investment Fund, the first of its kind at Kent State, is to give students real-world experience and advance career opportunities.

"Professional money management is an experience game – the more you're acquainted with the markets, the better you will perform," said Steven Dennis, Ph.D., Firestone Chair of Corporate Finance and chair of the Kent State Department of Finance.

According to Dennis, finance majors spent the fall semester learning about investing and putting structure in place around the Student Managed Investment Fund. Students went through the process of opening accounts, and will soon be able to transfer funds into those accounts. They also spent time discussing ideas from Ben Graham's The Intelligent Investor. In addition, expert money managers met with students to provide counsel on processes and procedures.

​"I like what I see in these finance students – they are eager to learn," Dennis said.

The Student Managed Investment Fund team documents performance of the funds during weekly meetings and provides quarterly performance reports to Kent State University and the Kent State Foundation. In addition, an annual written performance report and oral presentation will be given in the spring semester. Students will also compete in the Global Asset Management Education Conference in New York City.
