The Lally School of Management at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is in need of additional technology investments to facilitate the processing, sharing, and development of financial market data for academic research. As a professor at RPI Lally, I recognize the urgent need for faculty and doctoral students to have access to important financial data in order to further our understanding of markets, corporations, and financial institutions.

 

My goal is to raise $10,000 towards establishing the "Don Shohfi Financial Research Fund" in honor of my father, Donald A. Shohfi. Don Shohfi, who passed away in 2010 after a long battle with cancer, was an avid investor and a computer programmer who developed the first electronic payroll system for Citigroup. His professional programming expertise, leadership skills, and passion for financial markets were exceptional. More importantly, he was an extremely funny, deeply caring, and incredibly generous person. The Don Shohfi Financial Research Fund will allow researchers at RPI Lally to make important advances in the academic field of finance just as my father did in the financial industry decades ago.

 

Any support towards this initiative is greatly appreciated.
