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.

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.
