What happens when AI becomes the client? At #CFPConnections26, @UofIllinois's @HigherEdCraig and Presley Fee showed how AI-powered simulations are giving students a new way to practice financial planning.
Last night, we won!! A huge moment for the Illinois financial planning program. An incredible field and event. Congratulations to our FP faculty and course development teams. An incredible night!!!
The 2026 University of Illinois Financial Planning Career day roster is taking shape. Hundreds of students from across the Midwest, UIUC, Purdue, Indiana & ISU. Two tables remaining.
Looking for talent - we’d love to have you join us!
Late July in the garden - Fun sauces. Peppers are turning red, orange and yellow. Some sweet some bringers of pain.
My great pumpkin experiment yielded four friends. Corn is almost here. Cantaloupes & grapes on the horizon. Jelly and jam here we come!!
July is in full force! Flowers, tomatoes, bees and bugs. Some peppers are coming to the scene grapes are coming along.
Sunflowers are blooming on the 4th. It’s been hot the past week and my plants are thrilled. Berries, squash, mint in bloom is calling the bees. Grapes are coming along nicely.
Happy 4th!!
