“Having Tanya {BAFEF volunteer} in the classroom has enhanced my students’ understanding of finance and economics. A financial professional provides real-world information and application to the students’ assignments. It is always nice to have more voices in the classroom and the students appreciate being able to ask questions of an expert.”
