Rome Hamm, a senior Finance major, is proud to be a third generation Leatherneck. Having come to WIU unsure of what major to choose, her finance professors always had thorough and thoughtful answers to her questions about the discipline, which made it easy to choose finance. Being a finance major has allowed her to become Vice President of Finance for her professional fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi, and to serve as Treasurer of the Student Honors Association and Chair of the Council on Student Activity Funds.
"I would never have known what I was passionate about without the amazing finance professors at WIU. Their dedication to teaching students expands beyond the classroom to helping students get internships and scholarships. WIU has allowed me to explore interests in all areas of finance: insurance, real estate, corporate, investments, and banking. I'm a more well-rounded student because of choosing to pursue a finance major at WIU."
