CONWAY — The UCA Finance and Investment Club wants to further the interest of students in investment and finance with a recent sponsorship it has received from Northwestern Mutual Financial Network, The Bertasi Financial Group in Little Rock.

“We commend the UCA College of Business Finance Club for its efforts in furthering opportunities for it s students. The $1,000 sponsorship will help the students continue focus on their business education at UCA, fueling their future entrepreneurial goals.”
