Poole College Selects Thomas Prince as the Spring 2022 Student Commencement Speaker

NC State Poole College of Management has named Thomas Prince as the student commencement speaker for the spring 2022 ceremony. Prince will be graduating with a Bachelor of Science in business administration with a concentration in finance and a Bachelor of Science in accounting. 

The Raleigh native was involved in the Finance Club, Beta Gamma Sigma Honors Society and Phi Kappa Phi Honors Society during his time at Poole. Prince also served as the president, managing director and, eventually, senior vice president of strategy of Bell Tower Capital Management, an undergraduate student-managed investment fund at NC State.

“Being selected as the Poole student commencement speaker is a true honor,” said Prince. “I have the privilege of representing the class of 2022 to highlight the tremendous achievements and progress we have all accomplished on a very special day. Go Pack!”

Prince held various internship and assistant positions during his academic career including teaching assistant for MIE 305, Legal and Regulatory Environment; corporate banking summer analyst with Regions Bank in Charlotte, investment intern with the NC State Office of Investments; and a finance intern with Capital Investment Companies in Raleigh. 

“I always loved going to the Poole Party,” said Prince when recalling a favorite Poole memory.  “It’s a great way to not only meet other Poole students, but also to find things that interest you, and as a student leader, to recruit the best and brightest for our groups!”

Following graduation, Prince will be headed to Charlotte returning to Regions Bank full-time as a corporate investment banking analyst in their diversified industries coverage group.
