Davidov Power Lunch
Finance | Networking | Entrepreneurship Piloted in spring 2021, the Power Lunch Series engaged 23 students in a series of 16 meetings with seven guest speakers. At the end of the semester, five expert panelists heard investment pitches from five student teams, resulting in $5,000 of the School’s endowment to be managed by the winning student team.
Now endowed by the Davidov family, the students in Power Lunch manage over $15,000 of the school's endowment. Power Lunch meets once per cycle to assess their investments, hear from guest speakers, and plan networking opportunities.
