The Great Auditorium Fact Sheet Summer 2013Bonnie Graham
The Great Auditorium in Ocean Grove, NJ has undergone several renovations since its construction in 1894. It originally seated 10,000 people and hosted many famous performers and speakers. In 2012, Superstorm Sandy caused significant damage when it tore off parts of the roof. Over one third of the roof on the north side and all of the roof on the west side were blown off. Repair work began but had to be suspended for the summer season.
The CEE Fund at Christopher Newport University had a successful spring semester. Some key updates include:

The Trinity SMF investment committee guided the fund's investment outlook for the year based on key global macroeconomic themes identified by its macroeconomic team. The committee sought to position the portfolio's sector and currency exposures in line with these themes. The key theme was the expected interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve in December. The committee identified the Financials and Consumer Discretionary sectors as standout opportunities, as they could benefit from higher rates through lending income and strong consumer spending, respectively. The committee already held positions in banks like Citigroup and MetLife that were well positioned for rate hikes.
The Mizzou Investment Fund earned a 7.20% return for the Spring 2016 semester, outperforming the S&P 500 Index return of 7.05%.

This document contains a marketing plan summary for the Lutheran Church Extension Fund (LCEF). Research was conducted through surveys of LCMS students, faculty, and members, as well as interviews. The research found low awareness of LCEF and its services. Most respondents learned of LCEF through their congregation. Very few currently bank with LCEF. The plan recommends raising awareness of LCEF through a summer bus tour, print/TV/radio ads, improving the website, and redesigning social media. The goal is to better connect LCMS members with LCEF's financial products and services.

NEWPORT NEWS FINANCIAL LITERACY PROGRAM
A lack of education shouldn’t be the reason so many people are behind
on their finances. The CEE Fund wants to change this. The first steps
have been taken by bringing free financial literacy classes to the
community. In conjunction with the Newport News Library System and
the assistance of Dr. Donaldson and Dr. Rahim of CNU, the curriculum is
extremely educational and easy to understand regardless of age or
level of previous education. The Fund plans to expand these classes
into local high schools during 2016.
Contact Cole Hall at coo.ceefund@cnu.edu for more information.
The CEE Fund recognizes the importance to instill financial thinking at a young age.
This is why working with groups like the Girl Scouts of America is so valuable.

UNIVERSITY TRADING CHALLENGE
Though the CEE Fund did not place top 3, the University Trading Challenge was a
great educational experience for participating members. Out of fourteen teams, the
Fund was only one of two undergraduate teams, which is an accomplishment in itself.
“Through the University Trading Challenge our team learned
how to use interest rate swaps, hedge variable loans, and find alternate
ways of raising capital for our investment banking presentation. We also
gained experience in the forex market while trading as a team. It was
one of the best team building experiences of college so far.”

TRADING TUESDAYS
In this special edition of a Trading Tuesday, John Caldwell and Ryan Brooks (Malvin, Riggins & Company) along
with Patrick Dennis (Oyster Consulting) taught close to fifty students about starting a career in finance/accounting.
Beyond the Newport News Financial Literacy Program, weekly classes
taught by CNU professors and the Financial Summit, the CEE Fund holds
Trading Tuesdays. These events are led by an outside speaker or a member
of the Fund.
Open to all CNU students, these Trading Tuesdays are perfect for learning
the ins-and-outs of creating and adjusting a portfolio using different
strategies. The strategies discussed here are more advanced than most
educational seminars the CEE Fund holds.

ADVISORY BOARD FINALIZATION
One of the CEE Fund’s biggest obstacles is turnover. With most
students serving an average of 2.5 years of active time in the Fund,
new leaders and ideas are always presented. This is fantastic and drives
the growth and passion of the Fund’s mission, however, the Fund’s
values, history, and strategic vision are vunerable to a lack of stability.
An advisory board comprised of the CEE Fund’s longest supporters
will help stabilize the long term objectives and provide a means
for a smooth transition of leadership. The board will not interfere
with investment decisions or fund operations. Their responsibilities
will involve strategic thinking, advising, networking and improving
education.
The board will be comprised of nine members meeting semiannually
in the spring and the fall. This will include the Dean of the Luter School
of Business, Dean of Social Sciences, three influential donors/stakeholders,
three CEE Fund alumni, and the previous CEE Fund CEO. The Fund’s
academic advisors, Dr. Rahim and Dr. Donaldson will be included in
the meetings as well. The men and women invited to serve on the
board are highly respected and valued by the CEE Fund.
Board composition is subject to change.
The CEE Fund is excited to see the improvements that will follow.

CEE Fund. With students and financial education as the primary focus,
the Fund has had a HUGE impact on the Newport News community.

“As I stepped into position as CEO and looked back to when I joined the
fund, it made me realize just how much the fund has contributed to my
own professional and personal development. The fund provides the
means to accomplish goals, and a support base of not just other members,
but people who have become friends. Being a part of the fund is a
commitment to go above the call of duty, and a promise to give back to
benefit the CNU community, and the residents in the area. My goals as
CEO are to continue this commitment, expanding upon our programs
offered outside the CNU community, raising our assets under
management, and improving our internal education.”

Remember when you graduate high school and everybody tells you that college
goes by in a blink of an eye? They’re right. Remember when they tell you that it will be the
most fun four years of your life? They’re right, at least so far, about that too. Remember
when they tell you that you’ll gain years of relevant business experience by joining one
student club? I don’t either. This is what makes my decision to join the CEE Fund so vital to
my college career.
I owe it all to the founders of the CEE Fund, the ones who mentored me when I first
joined, Dr. Donaldson, Dr. Rahim, and all the other faculty who have helped the Fund get
to where it is today. An organization that can give anybody the experience of running a
non-profit without having to be in the Luter School or working long scheduled hours at a
company was unheard of until the inception of the CEE Fund.
The CEE Fund is truly special for those who run it and those who benefit externally
from it. When I first joined in 2012, the Fund was a year old. We had roughly $12,000 and
there were less than fifteen active members. CEO Ashley French , COO Jose Chavez, and
the Director of Marketing, Leighton Stone, were my main mentors. They believed in my
talents and immediately had me in charge of marketing and graphic design for the Fund.
As a second semester freshman, I was granted a spot on the executive board where I
became deeply involved in the Fund’s operations. I learned more than I ever could in class-
es by sitting in on important meetings, assisting with strategic decisions, and planning big
events like the Financial Summit.
I worked hard knowing one day I could be a mentor to incoming members and
help them learn beyond the classroom. I am beyond blessed to have had the opportunity
to serve as CEO. It has challenged me, inspired me, enlightened me, and humbled me in
many ways. I am happy to have left the Fund better than I found it and I am extremely
confident that Marshall will do the same. There are many improvements to be made and
the new executive board has the passion and intelligence to make the necessary positive
changes.
I look forward to working with graphic design and branding in my future as my
time in the CEE Fund has given me enormous opportunities to strengthen my skills. This
update is my last big piece of work for the Fund. Between my spot on the CEE Fund advi-
sory board and my May graduation, I’m excited for what’s to come. And lastly, to Marshall-
BOOM. This term will go by in the blink of an eye. Make an impact. Service before self.
