Class of 2023

I teach my students all about the world of financial planning and what a rewarding career it is. I teach them about working with clients to help them to identify their financial dreams and how to get to those goals. I teach them about taxation and investment management.

The students that are at Fox are a very special breed of students. They're interested. They're bright. They want to make the world a better place.

Cindy Axelrod

My experience at Fox could be summarized in one word: grateful. I'm grateful for all these opportunities to be in leadership roles, to have the internships I had and to be in the environment among my colleagues that have pushed me to excel and succeed in the classroom. These are things that I hope to carry out and continue to provide the environment and use my Fox degree to excel in the workforce.

Assistant Professor Tom Kenny

Department of Finance

Real estate is such a fascinating area. It ties together all of the subject areas the students have learned throughout their high school and undergraduate education. Economics, statistics, finance, arts, science, math and all of the different areas that people study all have a context in real estate.

David Wilk

Assistant Professor

I love teaching Fox students. The biggest reason is their grittiness, their desire to learn and get the most out of their classes, and their investment in their education.

David Wilk

Assistant Professor

I'm a part of TREO (Temple Real Estate Organization). The student professional organizations (SPOs) that Fox offers really creates a great networking platform for students. We get to meet and work with professionals. They help us build our resume and portfolios, which looks good to employers because we know a little bit about the field already and we've had internships that derive from these SPOs.

Brianna Boughton

Class of 2025

My experience at Fox has been fantastic. I have had access to so many opportunities that I would not have otherwise had access to, through classes and talking to professors who had 20- or 30-year careers in the industry, which is invaluable. They're not career professors but career businesspeople that now choose to teach and share that knowledge with the next generation.

Jake Lewis

Class of 2024

Being at Fox has allowed me to stand out to employers. A lot of the professional development opportunities that I've had have come through the Center for Student Professional Development. I've come to learn that Fox is very unique in the sense that it has a dedicated career center for professional development.
