Investing Club Helps Students Learn to Build Wealth

Northwoods Investment Club focuses on making investing more accessible for students. Wyatt Wardlaw ‘24 is one of the founders and leader of the investment club. A similar club was previously run a few years ago by Kendin Basden ‘22 and Slater Loffredo ‘22. The year after they graduated, Wyatt noticed no one was continuing the club and decided to run one himself with the help of Mr. Garvey. This year, Wyatt wanted the club to grow more and decided to link his Peak Pathways Project to help more students gain investing experience.

Wyatt’s goal for the year is to start by helping students learn about the process and research different stocks. He hopes to eventually run meetings where everyone can analyze or talk about what’s happening that week in the market. The club is currently student-run, but Wyatt hopes to find a faculty member like Mr. Martinez who can help bring more knowledge to the group.

“I hope everyone can get more excited about investing and learning about the process,” Wardlaw said. The club consists of 10 students varying in investing experience.

“I’m excited to learn an introduction to investing,” said Sophia Schupp, ’24.
