The Craig School of Business at Fresno State recognized Wells Fargo at a reception today for its support of the student-run stock trading room — one of only four training labs of its kind in California.

A $45,000 gift from the bank helped support the Student Managed Investment Fund program that trains students to actively make trades and analyze investments. The room, located at the south end of the Peters Business Building, features a LED stock ticker, dedicated terminals and big screen TVs.
“We are very proud of the stock trading room and the real-time experience it provides our students,” said Robert Harper, dean of the Craig School. “Wells Fargo has been instrumental in helping to transform students’ lives through its generous gift to develop the lab and help make this dream become a reality.”
The Fresno State Foundation has provided $2 million dollars for investments by the Student Managed Investment Fund. Finance students have grown the fund from $2 million dollars to $2.8 million dollars.
