Stipends of $100 for Honorable Mentions were awarded to Monica Torres Alvarez, Jayla Goodrum, Ian Harris, and Emma Picado.

Four Nicolet students had the opportunity to attend Northwestern Mutual’s Investments Learning Day! 📈
Students connected with professionals across Investment Strategy, Public Investments, NM Capital, and Real Estate to get a real behind-the-scenes look at the world of investing. From hands-on learning to meaningful conversations, they explored how investment decisions are made and what careers in finance can look like.
Experiences like this help bridge the gap between the classroom and the real world — and inspire the next generation of leaders in finance and investing.
A huge thank you to Northwestern Mutual for creating such an impactful experience for our students! 👏
