Columbus, Ohio- Three Wittenberg Management majors traveled to Columbus on April 16th to be honored for their achievements in Finance. Matt Wigton ’09, Michelle Costello ’09 and Sean Fields ’08 received awards from Financial Executives International (FEI). Fields from Coppell, Texas who has a concentration in finance received the senior award for academia. Wigton from Lancaster, Ohio, finance and law concentration and Costello from Muncie, Indiana, also a finance concentration, both received the junior award for academics.

The three students dined at  the Brookside Country Club in Columbus, and were accompanied by Dr. Lowell Stockstill. “FEI is the premier association for finance professionals,” Stockstill states, he goes on; “Fields was in the enviable position of having a top job with J.C. Penney headquarters in Dallas when he returned to Witt in the fall. All three of these students are top performers, and I am very proud of their achievements.”

FEI was founded in 1931 as the Controllers Institute of America but in 1962 changed its name. FEI strives to be the most contemporary, dynamic and proactive organization of its kind. It is the professional association of choice for corporate finance executives.
