Message from PFP advisory board chair, Jamie Bosse, KHC Wealth Management

Jamie BosseSince November 2016, I have had the pleasure of serving as the PFP Advisory Board Chair. The objective of the PFP Advisory Board is to assist the program in growing and to support the program’s needs to be successful. We are dedicated to helping the PFP program connect students to the industry, engage in and develop industry relationships, and raise awareness across campus and in the community.

Our advisory board consists of alumni, friends, an undergraduate and graduate student and faculty acting in an ex-officio capacity. The board, Dean of Human Ecology, John Buckwalter, and the Kansas State Foundation College of Human Ecology’s development professional, Dana Hunter, work together to stay apprised of the program’s activities, discuss students’ and faculty’s needs, and brainstorm how to grow the program and move it forward.

What is your background?

I enjoyed this position, but I wanted to work more with investments, so I took on a position as an account manager with Verus Retirement, which specializes in retirement plans and analyzing investments inside a 401k.
