NSU Wins First Place in Stock Market Challenge
NSU’s Collegiate DECA Chapter recently competed and won 1st place in a stock market challenge by SIFMA Foundation. It is an online simulation that challenges teams with building and managing a $100,000 virtual investment portfolio of stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Over 40 college teams from around the nation participated from February through April. Students faced a unique challenge considering that this competition occurred during one of the most turbulent times in the history of the stock market.
The team included students from the Huizenga Academy/College of Business & Entrepreneurship, Halmos College of Natural Sciences and Oceanography, and the College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences. Dr. Antonio Figueiredo from the Huizenga College finance department, volunteered as faculty advisor to provide workshops and advice to our student team.
