Give now to enhance financial literacy and career readiness for students

Your contribution will enable us to install and maintain a real-time stock ticker and financial literacy reception area on the first floor of Percival Hall – the home for the School of Business. This will be more than just a display; it will showcase learning tools that bring financial markets to life, helping students track real-time data, analyze trends, and build essential financial skills that will serve them long. Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, we’re already close to reaching our goal! With your support, we can make this vision a reality and provide our students with a valuable resource. No matter the size, every gift makes a difference—and to maximize your impact, Professor and Business Chair, Dr. Michael Greenwood is personally matching the first $10,000 we raise, dollar for dollar.
