Round Two: Week of August 31, 2026

Ah, ISM. The program I learned so much from yet never knew what it would teach me just one year ago.

We are BACK for Round Two of ISM! This year, I'm excited to be studying Corporate Finance, which is on the traditional side of Finance. My focus is most likely going to be in Capital Budgeting, which is the sector of Corporate Finance where professionals help the company make decisions about which projects or opportunities to invest in and how to manage their company's flow of capital.

This week, my challenge was starting up my research and fixing my portfolio. I didn't quite remember the process of completing our Annotated Bibliographies, so I had to refresh myself before completing the first one for this year, especially with a different topic. Furthermore, I had to update my portfolio to match my new field, and connect my ISM I portfolio to my new portfolio. It's not connecting properly for some reason, unfortunately. So we're going to have to troubleshoot and HOPEFULLY, soon enough, it will be all working again.

I'm very excited to get this year started and have another fun year in ISM! And this time, I get to mentor the ISM I kids as they navigate ISM like I did last year. Super SUPER excited for the year ahead.
