The Melvin D. and Valorie G. Booth School of Business is committed to equipping students with the negotiation and critical thinking skills learned in the classroom to real-world challenges in our pitch competition and on-campus agency. Mentorship from accomplished faculty prepares students for a variety of promising careers.
Donor funding supports many learning opportunities within the Melvin D. & Valorie G. Booth School of Business, including study abroad assistance, scholarships, field trips, and profession-based learning opportunities. It would also provide support for the new Bloomberg terminals. Bloomberg terminals are recognized as one of the standards in business research and can be found in many business schools across the state. Access to Bloomberg terminals gives students the opportunity to start gaining hands on experience in finance that will prepare them to engage in various jobs immediately after graduation. In addition to finance, Bloomberg terminals also provide access to reports focused on topics such as accounting and marketing, as well as advertising, law, government, and broader news articles that can potentially be beneficial to the wider campus community as well. Beyond the research access, students can earn certifications by completing programs available through the terminals. Institutions with access to Bloomberg terminals are also provided learning materials such as learning toolkits and special assignments based on Bloomberg research.
