Old Parkland Tour

August 21, 2024 | Media

Twelve rising seniors from the class of 2025 (plus 2 recent alumni from ‘23) explored the world of finance as they toured the Old Parkland office campus on their last day of the summer. The boys started the day discussing real estate investing with Chris Odom ’18, Peter Thompson ’13, Joel Schubert ’02, and Mark Roppolo ‘88. They continued to learn about private equity with Bayard Friedman ’03 and Tyler Bethea ’03, ate lunch and took in a corporate finance & risk management overview with Ian Dilley (father of two current students), and closed out the day with a presentation from Jere Thompson ’74 on non-profits and civic service.  A great day for students and alumni alike!
