A graph of stock market data with a waveform on a computer screen, stock listings on a second computer screen, and two hands at mouse and keyboard are visible as a Michigan Tech finance student logs in on a Bloomberg Terminal in the campus library.
Log on to the Bloomberg Terminal on the second floor of Van Pelt and Opie Library to start playing the spring semester stock-picking contest. It’s open to all current Michigan Tech students.

There’s a little-known resource on the second floor of the Van Pelt and Opie Library that can help students chart a brighter financial future. The College of Business, the Michigan Tech Finance Club, and the Library are encouraging Huskies to find and use the Bloomberg Terminal.

In addition to developing financial literacy, there’s another strong incentive—cash prizes will be awarded in a stock-picking contest open to all graduate and undergraduate students enrolled this spring semester at Michigan Tech. The first-place winner will receive $500, second place, $300, and third place, $100. An additional $100 prize will be awarded to a randomly selected participant.
