“Right now I’m one of the portfolio managers on the James Fund here at Wofford. It’s a student-managed investment fund. It basically invests a part of the college’s endowment, a small chunk of it, and I’m one of the four team leaders, so I manage one of the subgroups of the James Fund.” – Richard Fields, Junior
“My dad used to live in Mozambique, so I’ve traveled to a bunch of African countries. I’ve been to Colombia, South America and that was just because my dad happened to move to those places.” – Julia Smith, Senior
“We like to take tradition seriously at Wofford, but a lot of the traditions we like aren’t always long-lasting traditions.
