In a digital economy, business students need access to state-of-the-art technology.
That’s what the Edwards School of Business at the University of Saskatchewan can offer, thanks to a donation from an alumnus.
The Gordon Rawlinson Finance and Trading Room is being unveiled today. Located behind a glass wall in the front lobby of the school, it features 16 Bloomberg terminals. Bloomberg is the top information platform used by businesses, financial institutions and government agencies.
Being certified on the Bloomberg system ensures Saskatchewan students are conversant with economic indicators, and how to navigate markets. Jeremy Riddell, a fourth-year finance student, says the practical experience is invaluable.
“The resources available through the Gordon Rawlinson Finance and Trading Room add to our employability,” said Riddell. “We are developing practical skills that allow us to deliver value immediately as new graduates in the workforce.”
The hands-on experience is possible because of a generous gift from Gordon Rawlinson. In addition to being an alumnus of the school, he also is the owner of Rawlco Radio.
