The University’s Impact
“What I’ve found here with my fellow students and especially the instructors, is that they’re a circle of peers that I’ve been able to train with. But more often than not, they’re a personal board of directors. I can leverage their experiences not only here at ICCFAU during our one week, but I can also reach out to them throughout the year. I cannot speak highly enough of the experience.”
– David Brooks, eight-time ICCFA University attendee
