Mission of the Center for Banking and Finance

The mission of Murray State University ’s Center for Banking and Finance is to enhance the educational opportunities of students and finance professionals with the MSU service area.

The aforementioned mission will be accomplished through the continuing fulfillment of two broad objectives. The first objective is to improve students’ banking knowledge, skills, and employment opportunities. This objective also includes increasing the number of internship opportunities available to students, which allows MSU students the ability to showcase their skills and talents while providing financial institutions a steady flow of capable and energetic employees.

The second objective is to provide professional training and development to area financial service professionals. This will allow the Center to build on already strong relationships between MSU and financial institutions located within our service area.

Any ideas or suggestions regarding conferences, training, speakers, etc. are welcomed and should be directed to Dr. Steve Lacewell at (270) 809-4285 or via email at steve.lacewell@murraystate.edu.
