Business Alliance Luncheon

The School of Business & Economics partners with the Business Alliance to bring the Business Alliance Luncheon to the business community each year in late April. The luncheon features a speaker of interest to the business community. Prior speakers include Gerry Dick, Morton Marcus, and Lynn Brewer, one of the whistle blowers at Enron. Businesses sponsor the luncheon by purchasing tables for their employees and for two of the School's students. Businesses get an opportunity to network with the School's students seated at their table over lunch. Individual tickets are available.

Trading Floor

The trading floor is a place where business students and perspective college students will come and “trade” stocks and understand how our financial markets are setup.  It also teaches people the micro-market structure, financial and retirement planning, and will educate individuals in financial products.
